Charlotte Leitersdorf was an artist. In August 1942 she and her sisters were deported from Dossin barracks. Their father hid several of Charlotte’s canvasses. As the only survivor of the family, shortly before his death in 1946, he gifted the works to one of his pupils, Félicie Gruszow-Bloch. Charlotte’s paintings hung in Félicie’s house until the latter’s death in 2018. In 2019 Félicie’s sons gifted one of the still lifes to Kazerne Dossin. Restoration work on the painting began at the end of 2019.
