The Stolen Painting That Changed Everything

A stolen painting. A survivor’s courage. A thief’s redemption.
Betsy and author Bill Frisco explore how truth and love can outlast
hate and history.



In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks
with Bill Frisco, author of Every Day Is Like Sunday: The Silent
Re-Looting of Art Stolen by the Nazis. Their heartfelt conversation
explores how a chance meeting at the Jersey Shore in 1985 inspired
a story of stolen Jewish artwork, justice, and redemption.

Betsy and Bill dive into the heart of Every Day Is Like Sunday, a
gripping tale that follows a stolen painting and the people forever
changed by its history. Though written as historical fiction on his
attorney’s advice, Bill explains that real events appear
throughout—blending fact and imagination to reveal timeless truths
about conscience and courage. Listeners meet Roy Kean, a skilled
thief, and Lily Braun, a Holocaust survivor determined to reclaim
her murdered family’s stolen art. Roy, moved by Lily’s faith and
bravery, risks everything to right a decades-old wrong.

Together, they embody the struggle to confront the past and restore
dignity to lives shattered by hatred. Bill shares how visiting
Auschwitz during his research transformed his perspective and
strengthened his commitment to honoring truth through storytelling.
Betsy calls the book a page-turner that unites history, emotion,
and moral reflection. As a Jewish-Christian, she found Lily’s
strength deeply personal—an enduring reminder of resilience and the
human spirit. “This story stays with you,” Betsy says. “It reminds
us that love and justice can still triumph over darkness.”
