Ferdinand (Felix) Bloch (1898-1944), artist and graphic designer. In 1942 he was deported to Ghetto Theresienstadt, where he was employed in the drawing office of the technical department. Like other artists, he drew secretly. On a brown cardboard folder he portrayed one day of life in the ghetto. In this exhibition, many artists from Israel and abroad produced works using different techniques, an artistic tribute to Bloch’s unique symbolic art.
