Survivor and Artist Adam Grochowski Grant (1924-1992)
Presentation on: 5 September, 2009

Peggy Grant, Art Director and Curator, will present the work of her husband Adam Grochowski (Grant) a survivor of concentration camps. A Roman Catholic growing up in Poland, he was an 18-year-old arrested in a Nazi roundup in January, 1943. He was sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp, surviving largely because of his artistic talent, which Nazi officers made use of. After the war, the artist lived in a displaced persons' camp in Germany for five years before being allowed to immigrate to the Polish enclave of Hamtramck, Mich.
