Alice Lok Cahana (February 7, 1929 – November 28, 2017) was a Hungarian Holocaust survivor.[1] Lok Cahana was a teenage inmate in the Auschwitz-Birkenau, Guben and Bergen-Belsen camps:[2] her most well-known works are her writings and abstract paintings about the Holocaust.

Her work celebrates Judaism and those murdered in the Holocaust by transforming the horror of their deaths into a testament to their lives. As she told Barbara Rose in the From Ashes to the Rainbow catalog interview, "I started to paint only about the Holocaust as a tribute and memorial to those who did not return, and I am still not finished."[3]
