| Description: |
Paris-Henry Weingluck was a modern artist whose range extended from figurative to abstract. His studio/apartment was sealed off shortly after he escaped Paris in late July 1942. He became a forced laborer in GTE Nr. 405 at Meyssac and was transferred to eight different camps throughout German-occupied France. Based on anecdotal evidence, his art collection--mostly comprised of his own works--was removed at the end of 1942 by Mobel-Aktion. The remainder of his possessions were removed in late February 1944. Weingluck survived the war and eventually made his way in 1948 to Toronto, Canada. |
