Every evening Mieke Mon-
jau left Levin's home with a
piece of his artwork and draw-
ings done by his students at
the Jewish school tucked
tightly in her coat. She also
took "linen, underwear,
clothing, shoes, even a spirit
stove, and the necessary
cutlery for him to make coffee
or soup; there was also a tiny
table and bench that Levin
had made. He could begin a
new life with these things."
While much of this was
later destroyed in a fire, the
artwork Monjau saved would
form the collection in The Art
of Jewish Children.
Levin, along with hundreds
of other Jews in Berlin, was
arrested on May 7, 1943.
They were taken to Grosse
Hamburger Strasse, an
assembly center that had
once been a home for the
Jewish aged.
For 10 days, the men,
women and children lived in
several rooms. They slept on
the floor. Those - who com-
plained or looked the wrong
way at the Nazi authorities
were locked up in the facili- •
ty's temporary prison cells —
air raid shelters.
On May 17, 1943, Levin and
394 other Jews were loaded
on Eastern transport No. 38.
Their bags were packed as
full as possible with the rem-
nants of their lives. They were
eager to be resettled in the
new camp, which the Nazis
assured them they would like.
Smiling, the Jews waved
goodbye to friends and fami-
- ly. They would all meet again
soon, they said, at their new
home. Then life would be as
once it had — full of pleasure,
good food and everyone living
together in peace. They step-
ped aboard the train and
headed to Auschwitz.
Mieke Monjau stood at the
platform. She called to her
friend. He waved goodbye to
her from the train's tiny
window.
"I could still recognize Julo
Levin in the distance," Mon-
jau wrote in Art of the Jewish
Children. "To the very end, he
assisted the elderly, the ill,
and the mothers with
children. The freight cars
were bolted one by one; at the
end, only the guards — their
guns shouldered — stood on
the platform."
Monjau later learned that
this transport had no sur-
vivors. Levin died at
Auschwitz. He was 42.
Yet his art survived, and in
this way, Monjau wrote, Levin
continued to live. For he had
told her, "My works are my
message: a silent solidarity
with people, excluding
anything divisive. This en-
dures and will not diminish."
