RARE collection of 24 paintings of Warsaw Ghetto by Henryk Hechtkopf (1910-2004). Born in Warsaw, Hechtkopf studied law and at the art academy concurrently and between 1932-1939 participated in the exhibitions of the city’s `Jewish Society for the Advancement of the Fine Arts`. Following the outbreak of the war, he fled to the Soviet Union, while almost all his family was murdered during the Holocaust. After the end of the war, he returned to Warsaw, and for two years drew the "Ghetto Warsaw" cycle. He moved to Lodz, reestablished that city`s `Jewish Artists Society`, and taught at the Lodz Film School. In 1949 he designed the first stamp issued in the world dedicated to the Holocaust, and in 1957 immigrated to Israel, where he worked as graphic designer and illustrator of children`s books. 345x245mm. 24 separate plates & 2 separate text pages.
