Chodecz and Dorset, Friday 18 July 2008During his incarceration by the Nazis in the Lodz ghetto with his family, Halter worked in the metal factory, a skill he later called upon in his creation of stained glass as part of his multi-media practice as a full-time artist from 1976 onwards. From 2000, he began to recall his nightmares with great clarity and created a series of watercolours, juxtaposing the horrific experiences he had witnessed in occupied Poland, with views of the idyllic Dorset countryside, near his daughter’s home, identifying each artwork by date and location, and occasionally an accompanying text. In 2006 Halter returned to Poland with the journalist film-maker, Fergal Keane, who recorded the visit to Chodecz for a BBC documentary.
