Jan Burka
Jan Burka (14 June 1924 – 4 September 2009) was a Czech painter, graphic artist and sculptor. Biography Burka was born in Postoloprty. In 1940, he studied at a private art school, and then attended a course in graphics at the Vinohrady Synagogue, led by Petr Kien. After some time in Prague, he was deported as ''Geltungsjude'', and sent to Terezín on 10 August 1942. In Terezín, he was reunited with Kien, and even in the difficult conditions of the ghetto he continued to study drawing.

From 1945 to 1951, he worked as a graphic artist in Amsterdam. In 1951, he moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he studied at the Ontario College of Art & ...

People From Postoloprty
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.
