Victor Weisz "Vicky"

Victor Weisz was a German-British political cartoonist, drawing under the name of Vicky.

He studied at the Berlin School of Art and by 1928, at the age of fifteen, he was working as a freelancer, drawing caricatures. Weisz's cartoons took a very strong anti-Nazi stance. As a member of the Jewish community with expressed socialist opinions, Weisz decided to leave Germany.

In 1935, he went to live in the United Kingdom, and worked for the News Chronicle, Daily Mirror and Evening Standard and built a reputation as an incisive commentator on political events. By the 1940s, Weisz, using the pseudonym "Vicky", was one of the leading British left-wing cartoonists.
