Biography

]
Ochs was Jewish,
[1]
[3]
and was born in
Nice, France
. His family moved to
Liege
,
Belgium
, in 1893.
[4]
He was the Belgian Champion fencer in 1912 and competed for Belgium in the
1912 Stockholm Olympics
, winning a
gold medal
in the team epee event (his teammates included
Gaston Salmon
).
[1]
[5]
He also competed in three individual events at the same Olympics. In the individual foil and individual epee categories, he reached the 2nd round before being eliminated (he finished 39th in foil, and 29th in epee.) Ochs's final event was individual sabre, but he was eliminated in the 1st round.
Whilst pursuing a career as a professional fencer, he also worked at the newspapers "Newspaper of Liege", "Small Parisian", and "the Belgian Nation", drawing caricatures. His cartoons of personalities on the front page of the weekly
Pourquoi Pas?
between 1910 and 1971 made him very famous in Belgium.
During the Second World War, he was imprisoned on 17 December in the
Fort Breendonk
camp.
[1]
.The Germans had a file against him containing, among other things, a caricature that appeared in an old
Pourquoi Pas?
newspaper and depicted a Hitler with bloody hands. He was detained in the Mechelen barracks and sentenced to death, but the German debacle saved his life.. The camp's prisoners suffered from starvation, grass eating, torture, hangings, and shootings. He survived imprisonment.

Ochs died in Liege in 1971, 88 years old.
