- Artist Biography: Bertalan Gondor was born in 1908 in Budapest, Hungary. He studied art in Budapest and Vienna. Bertalan was Emery Gondor's brother. After the Hungarian White Terror (1919-1920), he moved from Budapest to Vienna. Bertalan finally returned to Budapest once Austria was annexed in 1938. There he worked as an artist and an illustrator. During World War II, he was deported and conscripted into forced labor service in Eastern Hungary. In March 1944, Germany invaded Hungary and took control of the Hungarian ghettos and camps. Bertalan was then deported to Poland and placed in a camp called Harka. He died in March 1945 in the Mauthausen Concentration Camp.
