New Exhibit at Zekelman Holocaust Center

Artwork of Erich 
Lichtblau-Leskly

To Paint is to Live: The Artwork 
of Erich Lichtblau-Leskly is a 
new exhibit at the Zekelman 
Holocaust Center in 
Farmington Hills that explores 
the life of a Czech Jewish 
artist who used art and satire 
as tools of adaptation and 
resistance while imprisoned in 
Theresienstadt. His cartoonish 
representations of daily life 
in Theresienstadt juxtapose 
shocking scenes of brutali-
ty with a light, ironic style, 
exposing the absurdity of his 
and others’ experiences while 
remaining jarringly human.
Fearing for his life after oth-

ers in the camp were deported, 
Erich cut most of his artwork 
into pieces. His wife, Elsa, hid 
them underneath the floor-
boards of her barracks and 
they miraculously survived. 
Erich used these fragments to 
recreate bigger, brighter, more 
fleshed-out versions with writ-
ings and captions to give fur-
ther insight into what he was 
attempting to convey.
Experience Erich’s story 
of survival through 134 of 
his original sketches and 
reworked paintings. The 
museum is open Sunday 
to Friday. The exhibit, on 

loan from Holocaust Museum LA, runs 
through the end of the year and is free 
with admission or membership.
