Moacyr Scliar's
Body of Work and Life in Words and Images
Moacyr Jaime Scliar was born in Porto Alegre (RS), on March 23, 1937. His parents, José and Sara, were Europeans who migrated to South America in search of better opportunities. As Jews, they had been victims of persecution in their homeland, and Brazil presented itself as a welcoming nation, which in a friendly and promising way embraced those who sought it.
He spent most of his childhood in Bom Fim, the Porto Alegre neighborhood where most of the Jews who chose the state capital to live had settled. He learned to read and write with his mother, who was a primary school teacher.
