Petr Ginz - played by Hal Freedman

This piece is devoted to Petr Ginz (February 1, 1928 -- September 28, 1944), a very creative young boy and multi-talented artist, who lived in Prague and was murdered in the Holocaust. His painting “Moon Landscape“ and his “Prague diary“ became world famous after the 2003 Columbia space shuttle tragedy. Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut and the son of an Auschwitz survivor, had borrowed the drawing from the collection of the Yad Vashem Museum in Israel and taken it with him on the Columbia voyage.
