David Friedmann was a master in depicting human documentaries. He reveled in the movement and activities of young and old. He observed people, nature and the world around him. This was evident in his powerful series BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS!
While working on this series, it was his trips to the library that offered him the necessary respite from the torment and agony of his memories. The artist said, "I needed to forget about the concentration camps and the horror that was there. So it was a pleasure to go to the library." The artist's daughter, Miriam Friedman Morris, has donated Mr. Friedman's pencil drawings to the Finkelstein Memorial Library and it is our great pleasure to share them with you in this online exhibit.
