Victor Ostrovsky

[174x482] Born in 1949 in Canada, Victor moved to Israel at the age of five. His inclination for the arts was apparent from a very early age. The well known Israeli painter, Giladi, lived on the same street and would often set up his easel outdoors to paint. Victor would watch, spellbound, on his way to and from school as Giladi created wonderful images on the blank canvas.

Eventually, the artist presented Victor with his own box of oil paints and took the time to guide him into a world where expressions come through images and color, handing the child a gift that would soon become a passion.

At eighteen years of age, Second Lieutenant Victor Ostrovsky was the youngest officer in the Israeli armed forces (Navy). He was an ardent Zionist with a fervent commitment to David Ben-Gurion’s founding vision of Israel as one of the greatest and most principled states in the post-War world.

Few families can claim deeper or more honourable Zionist roots, or a more fierce commitment to the creation and defence of the State of Israel than Victor Ostrovsky’s. His grandparents, Haim and Esther Margolin, settled in Palestine in 1912 after fleeing the Russian pogroms, Haim, eventually rising to become Auditor General of the JNF (Jewish National Fund).

Victor’s father, after More then twenty bombing missions over Germany in WWII as a Rear gunner on a Lancaster in the CRAF (Canadian Royal Air Force) – a job that was the closest thing to a suicide mission the war had to offer - commanded an air force base in Israel during and after the Israeli war of Independence; his uncle was a member of the Wolves of Samson a pre independence commando unit, while his mother fought with the Haganah, the Israeli underground, after serving during WWII with the British army.
