Bezalel (Salik) Katz, 101, held his first public art exhibition in Jerusalem.

 Holocaust survivor and lifelong painter Bezalel (Salik) Katz, 101, held his first public art exhibition in Jerusalem.

 Katz, who survived the Eastern Front and lost his entire family in the Holocaust, created thousands of paintings over decades, most never shown. 

Now at Neve Horim nursing home, his long-held dream came true through Ezer Mizion’s “A Wish for a Survivor” project and the Ministry of Welfare, with his works displayed in the “Flying in Time” exhibit at the Harmony Center.
