Gizel Berman
1919–2002
After surviving Auschwitz and reuniting with her husband, Czechoslovakian-born Gizel Berman immigrated to the United States in 1948. The couple settled first in Kansas and later in Seattle, where Berman studied art and began sculpting. She is best known for her bronze, which can be found in many locations in the northwest, including the Mercer Island Public Library. In 2008, Berman’s work was the subject of a posthumous exhibition at the West Valley Art Museum in Surprise, Arizona.
