Abraham Berline

Abraham Joseph Berline (5 October 1893 in Nizhyn – 1942) was a Ukrainian artist who lived in Paris and died during World War II.

[1] Abraham Joseph Berline was born on October 6, 1893, in Nizhyn in the Russian Empire (today in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine).

He continued to produce work, mainly pastels, focusing on the beauty of nature, in an attempt to transcend the camp experience through art.

After seven months he was transferred to Drancy internment camp, and from there to Auschwitz, as was his wife Doucia—never to return.

His works are included in the art collection of the Ghetto Fighters' House Museum and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine in Paris.
