Thank you so much for sharing this very humanitarian artist. So valuable. Also very sad she killed herself. Cathie, near Montreal!

Eva captured the soul of her subjects in these wonderful portraits. How unbearably sad that her life reached peaks of joy and ended in the valley of despond. She lived in terror as a child but managed to escape the Nazis, come to a land of freedom and develop such great talent, only to lose her life to depression and suicide. A tragedy and a loss to the world

I looked through the pictures before reading the text and was overcome with their melancholy beauty. What a talent. Then I read the copy and was overcome by sadness all over again.

these are truly great drawings – am sure she could have achieved more – are there any paintings?

I felt overcome with sadness looking at these images and thinking of a life lost so early. Who knows what Eva and her family endured before escaping. Such talent. What a terrible tragedy but a poignant legacy preserved. Thanks GA.

‘A soulful quality of her fellow East Enders’ is so apparent in these wonderful drawings.
Clearly a special talent.
Thank you GA for sharing Eva’s sad story.
