Who is David Labkovski?

Artist, Witness, Holocaust Survivor

David Labkovski (1906-1991) was a Jewish artist whose paintings depict his life and the lives of other Holocaust survivors before, during, and after WWII. His works depict “the world that was” as seen through his perspective; he paints colorful scenes of his life in Vilna (current-day Vilnius, Lithuania) before the war and the devastation he finds there upon his return from a Siberian prison, both to the city and the Jewish community that has been persecuted by the Gulag and the Nazis.The entirety of his portfolio was finished after Labkovski immigrated to Israel in 1958.
