Nandor Glid

1924–1997

Sculptor Nandor Glid was born in Yugoslavia. During the Holocaust, he survived forced labor and fought with the partisans. A professor at the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade from 1975, he exhibited his work widely. In 1996, he won a competition to design the Holocaust memorial for Salonika. He died while working on the project, and his sons, Daniel and Gabriel, completed it according to his design. Among Glid’s commemorative works are the Mauthausen monument in Zavala, Bosnia (1958) and the Yad Vashem monument in Jerusalem (1979).
