Ernest Morgan (Morgenstern) (1910–1995)
Born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, as one of Eliska and Frantisek Morgenstern's three children. Ernest studied law and served as a lawyer in the Czech army until the German occupation in 1939. In January 1942, he was deported with his parents to Terezin. Though he lacked artistic training, he took it upon himself to draw what he witnessed. With the help of his fiancée, he obtained painting tools. In December 1943, he was deported to Auschwitz with his parents who were murdered there. In July 1944, he was transported to Schwarzheide concentration camp, and ordered to clear rubble caused by British bombings. At the end of the war, he was forced on a death march to the Terezin ghetto, where he was liberated in May 1945. Upon his return to Terezin, Morgan was able to find his artworks that were buried by his friend Neuberger before his deportation to Auschwitz. After the war, he immigrated to Australia, where he lived until his death.
