Izrael Klein was born in Bilky, Ukraine in 1905. He loved to play the violin. When he could not practice with a violin, Izrael would practice his finger movements on a broomstick. In 1930, Izrael Klein moved to Belgium seeking a different life than the one found in the small town of his youth. By then, Hitler had published Mein Kampf in 1925 and an economic depression had spread throughout the world. Eventually, Izrael was arrested by the Nazis in Belgium. In 1942, at the age of thirty-six, Izrael was sent to Auschwitz. This kind, talented artist was murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
