Gift of Alfred Kantor
Id no. 2215.89, Artwork, Czech
Alfred Kantor secretly created this postcard-sized drawing while imprisoned in Auschwitz in 1944. The drawing depicts thousands of Hungarian women being transported to forced labor camps and gas chambers.
The background of the image shows crematoria with smoking chimneys. The title of the drawing, "Birkenau, peklo na zemi! (Hell on Earth)" is written on the back side.
