Here is the last paragraph I have written:

Chagall had agreed to create this ceiling at the request of Andre Malraux, France’s Minister of Culture at the time. But almost immediately, the choice of artist became highly controversial. Chagall, a Russian Jew who, with his wife, escaped almost certain death after his town in Belarus was under Nazi control. Chagall was living and working in Paris. Despite his heroic story of survival and his love for the country that took him in, there were strong objections to his working on the Paris-treasured Garnier.
