Rosemarie Inge Koczy ( – ) was an artist, teacher, and Holocaust survivor, known for her many works dealing with the topic. 〔 Miller, Stephen, "Rosemarie Koczy, 68, Holocaust artist", ''The New York Sun,'' December 19, 2007 〕 She compiled a memoir 〔 Rosemarie Koczy (2009) "I Weave You a Shroud", QCC Art Gallery Press, New York. ISBN 0-9764756-2-6 〕 that has been published in 2009 by Queensborough Community College and the City University of New York Art Gallery and Museum.() ==Her life== Koczy was born March 5, 1939, in Recklinghausen, Germany, the eldest daughter of Martha Wusthoff and Karl Koczy, both Jews. She was deported in 1942 at the age of 3 and survived two concentration camps, first at Traunstein (Dachau) and then at Ottenhausen (Struthof). Fifty years after the war’s end she wrote of that time: We worked in the fields every day. I saw the killings, the shavings, the bleachings, the torture and hunger, the cold, typhus, tuberculosis. Death was all around! 〔 Outsiders & Intuits (2009) "(Rosemarie Koczy )" 〕 Remaining at Ottenhausen for several years after its liberation in 1945, she was raised afterwards by her maternal grandparents, her mother briefly and several foster families and orphanages. In 1959 Koczy left Germany for Geneva, Switzerland. She was accepted into the (Ecole des Arts Decoratifs ) in 1961, where she received her diploma with distinction four years later. Koczy’s first marriage (which brought her Swiss citizenship) ended in divorce. She married composer Louis Pelosi, whom she had met at the MacDowell Colony,〔 Wiseman, C., (2007) ''The Place for the Arts: The MacDowell Colony, 1907 - 2007,'' MacDowell, New Hampshire. ISBN 1-58465-609-3 〕 in 1984. She became an American citizen in 1989. Koczy created a community art school outside of Geneva in the 1970s and in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, where she taught privately over the last twenty years of her life. After 1995 she gave free lessons to elderly and disabled residents of (Maple House ) in Ossining, where she supplied materials, arranged shows and acquisitions (many by her and her husband). The couple also hosted annual art and music gatherings in their home for many years. She died December 12, 2007, in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. 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「Rosemarie Koczy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
