Sam Szafran
Painting
Sam Berger was born in a family of Jewish immigrants on November 9th, 1934. A rebellious genius, he gave life to an exceptionally powerful and evocative body of work thanks to his incomparable determination and insatiable thirst for knowledge. Barely escaping the Vel' d'Hiv' Roundup on July 16th, 1942 and imprisoned for months in the infamous Drancy prison while he was still just a child, Sam “Szafran” not only found an escape but also a refuge in drawing.
