Art and Remembrance: The Legacy of Felix Nussbaum

Nussbaum is similar to many prominent artists throughout the ages, in that he gained fame for his pieces only after his death. However, his story is different from most in that the cause of his death was the subject of his work. A victim of the Auschwitz gas chambers, Nussbaum left behind paintings that give unique insight into the plight of European Jews who lived and died under the Nazi regime.
