The Life of Ludovit Feld, Presented by AJC New Jersey and the Consulate General of Slovakia in New York

Join us for a fascinating look at the life of renowned artist, Ludovit Feld. Born in Košice, Slovakia in 1904, Feld was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 where, as a person with dwarfism, he was subjected to the experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele, and forced to become Dr. Mengele's personal artist. Having survived the Holocaust, Feld moved back to Košice where he lived until his death in 1991.

Silvia Fishbaum, author of Dirty Jewess and a student of Ludovit Feld's, introduced by Ladislava Begeç, Consul General of Slovakia in New York, will share with us his incredible life story and her experience of studying under him in postwar Communist Czechoslovakia. Silvia will also speak about current efforts to keep Feld’s memory and the memory of the Holocaust alive in Košice.
