Bedřich Fritta

Bedřich Fritta (19 September 1906, Višňová – 8 November 1944, Auschwitz) was a Czech-Jewish artist and cartoonist.

When he returned to Prague, he worked as a technical artist for architect Emil Weisz and later as an illustrator for Ladislav Radoměrský's advertisement agency.

Because of their access to the tools, they were able to illegally draw expressionist sketches of life in the overcrowded ghetto.

Their son Tomáš survived the Holocaust and was adopted by Leo Hass and his wife Erna.

Out of the four arrested artists, only Leo Haas survived the war and recovered the hidden drawings.
