Biography
Biography
In his youth he was a pupil of Jacek Malczewski in Kraków, one of the most famous painters of Polish Symbolism. Subsequently he pursued his studies in Vienna in 1918, and in Paris in 1927. He exhibited in Paris in 1930. Symche Trachter was active at Kraków, and also participated in exhibitions organized by the Jewish Society for the Propagation of the Fine Arts. During the Second World War he was interned in the Warsaw Ghetto, but continued his artistic activities even in detention, decorating with frescoes together with another painter and fellow detainee, Feliks Frydman the walls of the main reception hall within the seat of the Ghetto's Judenrat. In 1942 he was deported by the Nazis from the Warsaw Ghetto on one of the first transports to the Treblinka extermination camp, where he was murdered in the Holocaust.
