Chaïm Kaliski. « Jim d'Etterbeek »

In one drawing, a couple dances on a black ground beside a record player, under the gate that reads "Arbeit macht Frei". Chaïm Kaliski captioned it Auschwitz, January 1945. He had spent the war as a Brussels boy in hiding, and at sixty he began drawing that childhood in Indian ink.

He kept at it for eighteen years and made more than 5,000 drawings, crowded with handwritten notes from an exceptional memory. The mahJ shows 120, with photographs and archive documents, in the auditorium foyer. They follow the order of events rather than the order he drew them: his father's leather workshop in Cureghem, the round-up of 3 September 1942, his own denunciation in April 1944.

You read these as much as look at them, so leave time. It is his first solo show in France. Entry is the €13 museum ticket, free under 18, and Wednesdays run until 21:00.
