Marcel Hastir (Brussels, - ), was an artist, theosoph and member of the Belgian wartime Resistance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Marcel Hastir Workshop )〕 He lived from 1935 onwards at 51 rue du Commerce, Brussels, which is also where he set up his studio. From the outset, it was a place where young musicians came to perform. Today there are two prizes bearing his name which are awarded by the Académie Royale de Belgique (Belgian Royal Academy), one for music and one for painting. == Biography == Marcel Hastir was a pupil of artists Constand Montald, Emile Fabry and Jean Delville and of the sculptor Victor Rousseau. During his military service, he took part in preparing the celebrations to mark the centenary of the birth of Belgium (1930). Later he designed the décor of the Chemistry Pavilion at the 1935 Brussels Universal Exhibition. In 1935, he moved to 51 rue du Commerce in the part of Brussels known as “Quartier Léopold”. In 1940, he managed to secure permission from the German occupying authorities to use his studio for drawing and painting lessons. But this “art school” was above all a cover which enabled young people to meet in relative safety. These people included Alexandre and Youra Livchitz, and Jean Franklemon, who apart from other acts of defiance came up with a particularly bold plan – to stop a train which was deporting Jews to Auschwitz. Youra Livchitz, Jean Franklemon and their friend Robert Maistriau did so successfully during the night of 19 April 1943, at Boortmeerbeek, enabling many to escape. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcel Hastir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
