(later Neuman, 1911 in Łódź — 1985 in Tel Aviv)

Ewa Brzezińska attended a drawing school in Łódź and studied under the artists Adolf Behrman, known for his scenes from the so-called shtetl, and Konstanty Mackiewicz, who designed theater sets, among other things. Brzezińska presented her work at the “Exhibition of Jewish Artists” in Łódź in 1932 and at the “Exhibition of YIVO” in Vilnius in 1938.

In 1939 she was deported to the Łódź Ghetto and later to various concentration camps until she was finally liberated from a deportation train from the subcamp Allach near Dachau. She was in the DP hospital in Gauting until March 1946 before arriving at the Jewish DP camp in Bad Wörishofen near Landsberg where she worked as a welfare officer in the camp’s own DP hospital.

She exhibited twenty watercolors which she had painted at DP camp at the “Exhibition of Jewish Artists” at the Lenbachhaus.

Brzezińska emigrated to Israel in 1949 and exhibited in the group exhibitions “Art in Israel,” held at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 1959, 1962, and 1965.
