Everyone was smiling at the hopeful message of these  paintings, which accurately depicts the   sufferings of the Jews , the pogroms and the  exodus but  his paintings   also give a sense of hope  for humanity  . I'd love to have met him. He sounded like a decent human in the midst of great turmoil and suffering.
