The art of helping: not long ago the Wertheim circus family had to ask for donations. Star artist Hermann Nitsch has now alleviated the first misery.
The circus director and head of the family Emil Wertheim happily tells that donations arrive in his account every day. The circus family is currently stuck in Lower Austria and is dependent on outside help due to the lack of income due to the ban on events and the lockdown. Thanks to generous “today“Readers accumulated around 200-300 euros in donations.
Celebrity artist donated 1,000 euros
A “today“-Readers was particularly generous – star artist Hermann Nitsch apparently decided to give the circus family a quick and unbureaucratic support with an impressive 1,000 euros.today“What he said about the latest financial blessing, Emil Wertheim fell from the clouds. He said he had been in the forest all day with the children and hadn’t heard anything about it. His wife Barbara then confirmed the news via WhatsApp, a woman I was at their place and handed over the money. The generous messenger was Rita Nitsch – the wife of the world-class painter.
Mr. Wertheim can hardly believe this generosity. “Crazy! We’re going to use all of that for our baby. Children are very expensive,” laughs the ringmaster.
