This article is of considerable interest to those of us who are art-enthusiasts and at the same time interested in the history of survival of culture in times of oppression and war. The information in the article presents an interesting insight into this artist's history and I see no reason for deletion. One of the great points about Wikipedia is precisely the fact that it allows us to find out quickly about people we cannot immediately recall everything about; a perceptive vignette is given clearly and, I believe, accurately of the subject's life and this inspires us to look at other sources for further information. London has recently had an exhibition of artists who were interned in the war, and this artist is an interesting further example since he was also interned and survived to be 'The Jew of Wells' (in Somerset, England), a respectable base of perhaps rather predictable Jane Austen-like gentility. Thus the story of this transformation, via Malta and interesting interludes and experiences, makes good reading and can stand as representative in some ways of many, many ( but sadly too few) such tales of survival and transformation post-trauma. The idea of deleting such an entry seems strangely wayward and I cannot intuit the motivation; but on any count the material is well worth preserving in the accessible public domain of Wikipedia.
