Pinhas Golan was an Israeli artist and sculptor. Golan was a Holocaust survivor and his work focused on the subject.
Golan was born in 1924 in a small village in Hungary and was 15 years old when World War II began. During the Holocaust, Golan's mother and two younger brothers—aged five and seven—were killed at Auschwitz and Golan was imprisoned in a Nazi work camp in Austria.
In 1948, Golan immigrated to Israel and joined the Israel Defense Forces, where he served for the next 22 years. He took part in the 1947–1949 Palestine war, the Sinai War, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War. Golan graduated from the Art College in Ramat Gan and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Classical Studies from Bar-Ilan University.[1]
Golan's main work is The Blocked Gate series, which was based upon his personal experiences.
He was married to Siprha and had two sons. He died on 7 February 2016.
