Ryszard Horowitz&#;s life story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a journey from the horrors of the Holocaust to a celebrated career as a pioneering photographer. Born in Kraków, Poland in , his early childhood was shattered by the Nazi invasion, forcing his family into the Kraków ghetto, a place of fear and deprivation. Amidst the bleakness, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of a childhood friendship with Roman Polanski, a future renowned filmmaker, who shared those early, difficult years. The ghetto provided a brief respite before the family was transported to the Plaszow concentration camp, ruled by the brutal Amon Göth, where life hung precariously in the balance amidst arbitrary violence.
The intervention of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist, proved pivotal for the Horowitz family. Schindler&#;s factory, supplying utensils to the German army, offered a shield from the immediate threat of extermination. Though shrouded in controversy, Schindler’s actions ultimately saved the lives of many Jews, including the Horowitz family, by employing them in his factories. While Schindler’s complex character has been subject to varying interpretations, his

ToggleBiografia i życiorys Ryszarda Horowitza
Czas drugiej wojny światowej był dla Ryszarda Horowitza niezwykle dramatyczny, bowiem wraz z rodziną, pochodzenia żydowskiego, został osiedlony w krakowskim getcie, lecz następnie trafił do niemieckich obozów koncentracyjnych. Z niemieckiego obozu koncentracyjnego Auschwitz-Birkenau Ryszard Horowitz ocalał, będąc jednym, o ile nie jedynym tak młodym, spośród tych, którzy przeżyli obozowy koszmar. Był Horowitz zatem najmłodszym z ponad tysiąca uratowanych za sprawą starań słynnego Oskara Schindlera. Po wojnie został odnaleziony przez matkę w sposób, co by nie mówić, całkiem filmowy, a to ponieważ matka rozpoznała go na jednym z kadrów wyświetlanego wówczas w Krakowie rosyjskiego filmu propagandowego.
Ryszard Horowitz podjął później naukę, kończąc krakowskie Państwowe Liceum Sztuk Plastycznych. Studiowa
