Zigmunt Bolk


Józef Sandel writes in his book "Jewish Artists Who Perished":

"In another field there was produced Zigmunt Bolk, the long-time set designer of the Lemberg Grand Theatre and the costume producer of this theatre. Soon he had collaborated in the field with the theatre director of Yiddish theatre in Lemberg David Herman. For the theatre Bolk created sets for the play "Orphans" (?) for Freger, and for "Father," by Pinski.

Zigmunt Bolk also had participated from time to time in the Lemberg exhibitions. In the final years of the Second World War, he collaborated with his son Henrik Bolk, who had manifested a significant artistic talent."

B. was killed by the Nazis.
