Hungarian-born Alfred Tibor survived slave labor at the hands of the Germans and imprisonment by the Soviets during World War II, and escaped communist Hungary in 1956. He came to the United States and worked as a commercial artist until he was financially established enough to devote time to his own artwork. The bronze Remembrance was his first sculpture.
