Life with the Dead

More than fifty works by Boris Lurie from 1950 to 1970 illustrate his active commitment to social justice and the memory of the Holocaust. Born in Leningrad in 1924 in a Jewish family and raised in Riga, he lost his mother, grandmother, sister and his childhood sweetheart in 1941 in a mass shooting by the Nazis. Boris Lurie survived German concentration camps and emigrated to New York in 1946.
