“Dancers” by the Slovak Artist Vavro Oravec
Holocaust survivor Vavro Oravec did not become an artist until after the second world war. Born in the Slovakian town of Tvrdošín in 1915, Oravec studied medicine in Bratislava during the 1930s. After being prohibited from practicing medicine because he was Jewish, he worked with Jewish children who had been expelled from school. In 1944 he was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, and then sent to the concentration camps at Gross Rosen and Blechhammer.
