HIS ART, REALLY, ^
IS HIS LIFE
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Eliahu W. Adler, a surviving
graduate of Auschwitz who will
forever aarry his diploma indel
ibly inscribed on his aim, Num
ber A1257, is an Israeli artist
who sells his oils and aquarelles
of Israel in the United States and
his interesting studies of New
York City in Israel.
This, we learned while inter
viewing him at the Herzl Art
Gallery, 515 Park Avenue, where
he has just held an exhibit (Oot.
8-Nov. 5) of some forty of his
newest Israeli oils. A fifty-five
year old native of Rumania, who
has lived in Tel Aviv since 194f(
Adler is an expressionist. His
work, though always recognizable,
has the dimpinnt of his imagina
tive personality. His imagery is a
blending of reality with the mood
of his own creativity.
Adler has been an artist al
most his entire life—his firat ex
hibit having been held in pre-
Hitler Budapest in 1933. He is
one artist who can truly say that
his art is his life; for be lives be
cause a literate SS officer liked
his drawings and kept him alive
so that he oould do illustrations
for the stories the officer wrote
for his two young daughters from
whom World War II was separat
ing him. He had first attracted
the interest of the art loving Nazi
after he won out over twenty
artists in what might be called
a group audition.
Adler, then thirty-two years old,
was one of a group of Jews in
Auschwitz destined for the gas
chambers on the morrow when
he was separated from his fellow
Jews and brought before the man
for whom he had been illustrat
ing the children’s stories. Adler,
as were his fellow Jews, was con
scious that his time was running
out. There were rumors in that
amazing underground of gossip
that circulated among the in
mates; and besides, they all
knew that very few of the pris
oners with whom they oame to
Auschwitz were stall alive.
Trembling, Adler stood before
the officer who had told his ad
jutant: “Bring the painter to my
room!”
The Nazi seemed to have the
glint of a smile of friendship in
his eyes. The artist was a bit re
assured, and then heard the
words:
You will remain alive, be
cause you can paint."
It is fitting that a man whose
life was saved as a result of his
art has devoted his entire life
time to art. “I was twelve,” he
recalls, “when I started my art

I studied in Budapest where I
first exhibited my work. Then

tions in Italy and Austria.”
“But this happiness was not to
continue,” he said ruefully.
Over a year in the Rumanian
air force, 1935-36, interrupted his
career briefly, but then followed
five years of natural development
as an artist, until 1942 when the
Nazis took over. A year as a slave
laborer in Russia was followed
by three years in various concen
tration camps.
“My first post-war exhibit was
in 1946, in Satu-Mare, an exhibit
dominated by my recollections of
the Holocaust. I couldn’t really
erase the memory of it from my
mind until I found a new life in
Israel.”
Today, Eliahu Adler is a happy
man, in a new world with a new
wife—a man reborn in a land
reborn. He is a versatile artist, a
man who produces both mild
pictures in traditional colors and
perspective as well as paintings
of violent and reckless movement
that reflect moods of disaster and
passion, of ironic melancholy and
sadness. He is also a portraitist
of distinction.
“I -try and reflect the happi
ness, the affirmation of the fu
ture that is inherent in the very
nature of the young state of Is-
Weizmann Institute
Presents 1968 Budget
REHOVOTH (JTA)— A 1968
budget of 32 million Israel
pounds ($10,666,000) was pres
ented to the Board of Governors
of the Wedzmann Institute of Sci
ence here by its chairman, Dr.
Dewey D. Stone, of Brockton,
Mass. The board is scheduled to
meet with Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol and Finance Minister
Pinhas Sapir on the question of
raising funds for the Institute
abroad.
Mr. Sapir recently called on
all Israeli institutions of higher
learning to forego their cam
paigns for funds abroad in favor
of the special emergency fund
campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal to meet Israel's urgent
security needs.

But generally, you will find
Adler a genial artist with whose

work often has a distinctive Jew

U. S. Atomic Expert

TEL AVIV (JTA)— James T.
Ramey, a member of the U. S.
Atomic Energy Commission, has
begun talks here with members
of Israel’s AEC on the joint con
