Nathan Rapoport (1911-1987), who is also known as Natan Rapoport, was a Jewish sculptor who was born in Warsaw, Poland. His middle name may be rendered in English as either Yaakov or Jacob. In 1936, he won a scholarship to study in France and Italy. He fled to the Soviet Union when the Nazis invaded Poland. The Soviets initially provided him with a studio, but later compelled him to work as a manual laborer. After the end of hostilities, he returned to Poland to study at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. In 1950, Rapoport immigrated to the United States, where he lived in New York until his death in 1987. His sculptures in public places include: * ''Liberation (Holocaust memorial)'', 1985, bronze, Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey * ''Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw, Poland. * ''Monument to Mordechai Anielewicz'' at Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, Israel * ''The Last March'', bronze sculpture in Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel * ''The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising'', bronze sculpture in Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel * ''Philadelphia Holocaust Memorial '' at Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA. * ''Korczak's Last Walk'' at the Park Avenue Synagogue, New York, NY. ==Gallery== Image:'The Last March', bronze sculpture by Natan Yaakov Rapoport (1911-77), Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel.jpg|''The Last March'', bronze sculpture by Nathan Rapoport, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel Image:'The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising', bronze sculpture by Natan J.
