Frank Szasz (1925-1995) was born in Hungary, but forced into an Axis labor camp in 1944. After escaping with the help of the Jewish underground, he used his artistic talents to help forge identification papers for other Jews. He was later captured and again forced into a labor camp in the Soviet Union, escaping yet again, and migrating to the United States in 1956, during the Hungarian Revolution. He is best known for his iconic paintings of twentieth century political, social, and religious figures.
