RETRO BOWLING NIGHT
JUNE 30
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.
