Stone candlestick made in the Cyprus detention camps, by sculptor Nahman Vikrovitzky. Cyprus, 5708 (1947/1948).
Rock gypsum, chiseled and engraved.
A candlestick shaped as the Hebrew letter "צ" with two indentation for candles. In the opening of the "צ" are the Hebrew letters י.ו.ן forming the Hebrew word ציון – "Zion".
The front of the candlestick is decorated with bunches of grapes and a view of David's Tower, and on its back is the Hebrew inscription "Cyprus 5708". The candlestick is placed on a square stone base decorated with bunches of grapes and a view of the Western Wall.
The sculptor Nahman Vikrovitzky (1924-2016), was born in Stolin (then Poland). On the eve of Rosh HaShanah 1942, his parents and all his family were murdered by the Nazis together with most of the Jewish population of the town. After the Holocaust, he tried to immigrate to Palestine on the illegal immigrant ship SS Theodor Herzl, which sailed from France on April 2, 1947, and was caught opposite the shore of Tel-Aviv. During his imprisonment in Cyprus, which lasted about a year and a half, Vikrovitzky sculpted in wood and stone. In Cyprus there were two groups of artists: the first consisted of students of the professional art workshops taught by Ze'ev Ben Zvi, Naftali Bezem and Chana Liberman, whose works of art tended to be expressionist and received artistic prestige, and who were appropriately equipped with hammers and chisels for working with stone. The second group was that of the 'amateur' artists whose works were considered by the first group as 'folkloristic' and simplistic. Vikrovitzky belonged to the second group and made his own work tools from nails, cans and other objects.
After Vikrovitzky immigrated to Israel, he commemorated the victims of the Holocaust in sculptures he exhibited in various venues. In 1993 he was awarded the Hermann Struck Prize of the Haifa Municipality for his works of art commemorating the Holocaust.
For additional information about art in the detention camps in Cyprus see enclosed material:
1. Cyprus, the Art of Life: The Detention Camps, 1946-1949. Tel-Aviv: Eretz Israel Museum, 2017.
2. The Handiworks of the Cyprus Exiles Illegal Immigrants, by Ya'akov Koren (Hebrew), in the Israeli Numismatic Collector's Association newspaper [no year].
Height: 15 cm. Dimensions of base: 14X12 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes to edges. Glue to prevent slippage on the lower side of the stone base.
Provenance: The Rimon Family Collection.

A wooden box with inlaid carved stone plates made by a detainee in the Cyprus detention camps, 5709 (1948/1949).
The lid of the box is inlaid with a plate depicting a group of exiles on a wooden raft, some standing and some sitting with their personal belongings. The composition is identified with works illustrating the verse "On the rivers of Babylon there we sat and we wept when we remembered Zion", depicting the exiles of Babylon mourning Jerusalem. One of the most familiar of these works is a work by E.M. Lilien, belonging to a group of works echoing Zionist themes. Presumably, the artist was inspired by Lilien's work (but possibly by other works in the same vein) when conceiving the image on this stone plate, an image expressing the situation of the illegal immigrants in the "exile of Cyprus", as it was commonly called. The exiles are not standing on the river bank as in the original but are surrounded by waves – the sea waves separating the exiles of Cyprus from Palestine, their desired country.
The side plates are decorated with the characteristic barbed wire, reading "Cyprus" (Hebrew) and the Hebrew year "5709" (1948/1949).
19.5X13.5X6 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes and stains to plates.
