Toledo Massacre is the only boxing scene by Rabin to record a particular match – the world heavyweight title fight between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard at Toledo, USA, in 1919.
Boxer Jack Dempsey faced the 6-foot 7-inch, 240 pound, defending champion Jess Willard. The much smaller 24-year-old challenger toppled Willard seven times in the first round and went on to capture the world title. It has now become known as the most brutal first round of any boxing match in the history of professional boxing. Just thirty seconds in Dempsey landed a huge left which broke Willard’s jaw in over a dozen places. Willard also suffered a broken cheek bone, broken ribs and permanent hearing loss. Dempsey went on to hold the title of champion for the next six years.

- The Solemn Morris DancerBy Yosl BergnerLocated in London, GBOil on board Image size: 5 3/4 x 7 inches (14.5 x 17.75 cm) As can be seen in this painting, Surrealism served as a source of inspiration for Bergner, though he did not consider himself a surrealist but a lover of stories, and indeed narrative elements appear frequently in his work. He uses the “displacement” element, as the Surrealists did, and that is detaching the figures, objects or landscapes from the logical context and into a poetical-magical climate. Nissim Aloni noted in 1983 He paints as though to install stabilizers against the turbulence of the dream, and perhaps these stabilizers serve him in time as a touchstone'. The Artist Yosl Bergner was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1920 and grew up in Warsaw, Poland. With rampant anti-Semitism in Europe, the Freeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonization was formed in the United States in July 1935, to search for a potential Jewish homeland. Soon afterwards a pastoral firm in Australia offered the League about 16,500 square kilometres (6,400 sq mi) in the Kimberleys, stretching from the north of Western Australia into the Northern Territory. As history showed, the plans went nowhere. But for a time, the Australian idea was at least worth considering. Bergner's father, Melech Ravitch, became involved in a serious investigation of the Kimberley Plan. In this way the Bergner family moved to Australia. Yosl emigrated to Australia in 1937 and studied in the National Gallery School in Melbourne. During World War II he served for four and a half years in the Australian Army, and later continued his studies at the Art School. In Melbourne from 1937–48, Bergner befriended many of the local artists who now epitomize modern Australian art: Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker...Category
