After visiting the Wax Museum in Surfers Paradise Queensland, our tour guide gave us a quick lesson on Madame Tussauds. This poor lady was on death row but was spared her life when she was able to use her talents making wax figures. During the French Revolution, she would have to go through many corpses and make death masks of the victims.
Our tour guide then explained to us as if it wasn't bad enough to make the death masks of these victims, she had to make the masks of her own family. If she didn't, she also would have been killed.
The thought of what this woman had seen and experienced makes me idolise her emotional strength.
