On January 18 1945, during the death march to Gleiwitz, he escaped to a forest and to the Althammer camp where he hid. In 1945, after his liberation he moved to Krakow and from there to Bratislava, where he was reunited with his family” (Yadvashem.org 2017) . “For years he was haunted by memories of the time he had spent suspended between life and death, by visions which would not let him sleep. A doctor friend suggested that he should try to get rid of these oppressive memories by expressing in pictorial terms the horrors he had known. This led the painter to produce a series of works which are unique in the history of art. ” SUBJECT(S) : Art, Holocaust art, Jewish art.
