December 2015 Portrait of the Month - Jakob Frenkiel

Jakob Frenkiel

Jakob Frenkiel was born on December 3rd, 1929 so we are featuring him as this month's Portrait of the Month. This portrait was created by Miriam L. at a workshop in Kraków, just 200 miles from Gabin, Poland, where Jakob was born. Workshop participants around the world have connected to Jakob through reading about him and drawing his portrait:

“Jakob Frenkiel, the boy who was determined and full of courage. He was stubborn yet loving, and never gave up.”
-India O., Boca Raton, Florida

“It felt very special to be able to recreate a photograph of someone who has been through so much, and give them tribute”
-Isa T., Wellington, Florida
