An exhibition of paintings of life in the Warsaw Ghetto by Halina Olomucka, one of its few survivors, opened here Friday in connection with the 25th anniversary of the ghetto uprising. The exhibit is sponsored by the documentation center at the Memorial for Unknown Jewish Martyrs. Mrs. Olomucka, now an established artist, made the paintings from drawings in a sketchbook that she kept as a young girl in the Warsaw Ghetto.
