Roman Halter, who turned his experiences during the Holocaust as a slave laborer, death camp survivor and death march escapee into searing art, died in London on Jan. 30 at 85.
Karen Pollock, chief executive of England’s Holocaust Educational Trust, said Halter “was a man who survived unimaginable experiences and who will be remembered by all of us at HET for his great intellect, talent, dignity and, above all, his warmth. He will be hugely missed.”
In later years Halter created paintings and stained-glass works that drew significant attention. He designed the gates of Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial and museum. — jta
