Mark Strauss (artist)

Mark Strauss is a painter, writer, and speaker whose work is influenced by his experience as a survivor of the Holocaust.Strauss’s oil paintings are on display in Washington, DC at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and at the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond, Virginia, and in public spaces and private homes in New York, Washington D.C., London, Paris, Warsaw, Berlin, Munich and Ukraine.

From 1980 until 2000, the National Park Service issued Strauss a permit so that he could demonstrate his painting skills on the National Mall in the District of Columbia.

In 2006, Strauss co-wrote "Crumbs", a semi-autobiography about an elderly Jewish artist who falls in love with a young American woman of German descent. The authors adopted the pseudonyms Marek Mann and Maria Martell.

Strauss currently resides in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.
