Kalman Aron, Whose Art Helped Him Survive The Holocaust, Dead At 93

Thanks to the skillful portraits and drawings he made for guards, officers, and commandants, he survived seven different concentration camps, and ultimately received a scholarship to study at Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts - after which he emigrated to Los Angeles and went on to a very successful career as a painter and portraitist.
