Sareed: The Life And Times Of Samuel Markitante, Painter-Sculptor

Samuel Markitante, a gifted artist, escapes religious persecution in Russia and takes refuge in Paris. When the Nazis occupy France he finds himself in even greater peril. Facing almost certain death his faith and his talent combine to make him a survivor. He finds a new life and a new adventure in America. As a child the author listened to Markitante's stories...memories of those stories inspired this work. Markitante's paintings exist today in private collections and museums around the world. Examples are shown on the website at http://sareedthebook.com. The term Sareed, Hebrew for survivor, is used primarily to identify survivors of the Holocaust.
