Today, I was able to attend a special exhibit at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum: The Artist Who Captured Eichmann.
This compelling exhibition tells the exciting exploits of Peter Malkin, an artist and Mossad agent who played a pivotal role in apprehending Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1960. During his three-week mission, Malkin sketched and painted on the pages of a South American travel guide, creating a unique artistic chronicle of his experiences.
This was an episode of history not on my radar until now. The art was vibrant and engaging, a stark contrast to the evil encountered by the artist.
