Signed bottom right: Frank Magda
In 1944-1945, Magda Frank continuously documented the fate of the people in the ghetto. She made a series of portraits of rabbis, fleeing families, and Jews wearing the yellow star, on paper, in pencil and watercolour. Frank was the only one of her family to survive the death camp and return to Budapest. However, she soon left Hungary and became a world-famous sculptor in Paris and Buenos Aires.
