    [Thread] On this #HolocaustMemorialDay I like to remember the individuals stories. Meet Zeev Porath. Porath was born Wilhelm Ochs in 1908 in Tarnopol, Poland (now Ukraine.) He was trained as an architect at Polytechnic University in Lviv. @WeRememberShoahpic.twitter.com/vmpyXfKl6G

        On July 16, 1942, the #Nazis arrested him and sent him to the infamous Janowska concentration camp on the outskirts of the city, commanded by the brutal and sadistic Gustav Willhauspic.twitter.com/xyEBaeRNS9

        Porath was assigned work as a draftsman working in the camp headquarters, designing various simple buildings for the camp. His position on the third floor of the HQ allowed to also document the camp through drawing.pic.twitter.com/GZ76EoHDjr

        He drew what he saw, both to document the camp layout and the horrors he witnessed everyday. Here is a shooting of prisoners by the SS man Richard Rokita which he describes in detail.pic.twitter.com/OlGR0B4lCR

        Porath's artwork was a courageous form of resistance during the #Holocaust. If his drawings of the camp had been discovered, he would likely have been executed. Here is a self-portrait which suggests his attempts to hide his work.pic.twitter.com/drwq0iWAkz

        Over 80,000 Jews were murdered in the camp and it served as a transit camp for the murder of Galician Jews at the Belzec extermination center.pic.twitter.com/X92tWPRe3b

        Porath survived the camp and also saved a Jewish child in the process. He went on to become a recognized architect and the director of the Tel Aviv Municipality’s architecture department. He also testified at the trials of the guards of the Janowska camp.pic.twitter.com/hh5jsjNppw
