Roman Kramsztyk, Old Jew with Children (Jewish Family in the Warsaw Ghetto), 1941

Roman Kramsztyk (רומן קרמשטיק) was a Jewish, Polish, artist, born in Warsaw in 1885. He studied art in Warsaw, Kraków and Munich. His art was influenced by impressionism, especially by French impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, and by Italian Renaissance art.

Kramsztyk lived mostly in Paris for many years, but remained connected to Poland. He visited Poland regularly and was a prominent figure in Polish art. Kramsztyk kept in close touch with his family. In 1939 he visited Warsaw to care for his dying mother. During his stay, after his mother passed away, the Nazis invaded Poland.

Alongside hundreds of thousands of Jews, Kramsztyk was put in the Warsaw Ghetto. Inside the ghetto he reconnected with his Jewish roots, after living most of his life as a Polish, European, man with Christian affiliation. As a painter he documented the suffering, hunger, horrific conditions, and death in the ghetto.

Roman Kramsztyk was murdered by Nazis on August 6th, 1942, during the deportation of Jews from the ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp, as part of "Operation Reinhardt."

May he rest in peace. יהי זכרו ברוך. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

Today [Friday, December 26, 2025] Aviv Maor was murdered in a stabbing and car ramming terror attack in Northern Israel by a Palestinian Arab terrorist from northern Samaria/Shomron, an area in the "west bank"

Maor was a 19 years old Jewish Israeli girl from Kibbutz Ein Harod. She and her friend were riding a vehicle near the kibbutz when the terrorist rammed into them, they both got out after the crash and tried to escape in different directions, the terrorist ran after Aviv and stabbed her to death

Aviv Maor's father said: “He ran into them while they were in a kibbutz vehicle. They got out and ran. He chased her and murdered her. A terrorist took our daughter and killed her.”

Aviv Maor, may she rest in peace, helped stray/abandoned kittens+cats, she fostered them until she found adoptive forever homes for them.. May her memory be a blessing!!!!

"Avivi was a child of nature, loving of both humans and animals, and had a passion for horseback riding for many years,” they [Aviv's parents] say. “She cared for all the injured animals in the valley. A talented photographer, a caring and loving daughter to her parents and a devoted sister.”

"Jewish redemption was a national one, and personal salvation could be found only in the salvation of the whole Nation. This special national Jewish redemption served as a guideline for all Jewish literary and artistic expression during late antiquity. Therefore, most Jewish symbols and episodic depictions of this period bear a national rather than a personal character."

-Bezalel Narkiss, Pagan, Christian, and Jewish Elements in the Art of Ancient Synagogues. in the book: "The Synagogue in Late Antiquity," Edited by Lee I. Levine, 1987.
