Shemuel Katz (Illustrator)
Yigal Mossinsohn, Hasamba, Tel-Aviv, 1954
Children’s literature and illustration
The children’s and youth literature especially beloved by generations of Israelis was written and illustrated by Holocaust survivor authors and artists. Henryk Hechtkopf illustrated T’munot M’saprot (Pictures Tell) for toddlers, Alona Frankel weaned Israel children from their diapers with her story Sir haSirim (Once Upon a Potty) and Paul Kor enthralled them with his series Kaspion. Already in his early days as an immigrant Shemuel Katz illustrated Lea Goldberg’s Dira leHaskir (Apartment for Rent) and Igael Mosinshon’s first Hasamba books, whose Israeli characters became the objects of adulation for generations of children and teens. Uri Orlev took upon himself a special role, that of unfolding the annals of the Holocaust in his stories for children and youths; his stories are based on his own experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto while a youth.
