      Holocaust - 18 drawings depicting the horrors of the Holocaust by survivor Peter Eldor

      Est: -

      1944 ALDOR PETER - Drawings by the Holocaust survivor artist Peter Eldor [1904-1976]. Budapest 1945. First edition. Hungarian. 18 drawings by the survivor of the Dachau camp, the artist Peter Eldor, regarding the horrors of the Holocaust. The drawings were made according to his memory, and are considered one of the first works to describe the horrors of the Holocaust in illustrations. Surprisingly and to the extent that this was not acceptable in those days - to illustrate horrors, in the introduction of Joseph Fodor he seeks justification for publishing the drawings for future generations: "Is it permissible to perpetuate suffering? ... The artist's conscience does not allow such an escape ... Should we move on without knowing what is behind us? ... Millions of innocents perished ... their memory will live forever in art ... The historical will guarantee Judaism a better future ... what is left for us ... this terrible souvenir ... the black zoo on white paper ... the suffering that will be remembered forever by a brave master pencil". In the drawings: SS soldiers lurking for Jews on a street corner, Nazi officials judging civilians of their origin, execution, Polish citizens beating Jews, SS soldiers breaking into a Jewish home, Jews being crammed into trains, SS soldiers over a pit full of corpses, German citizens raised, Deliveries to the camps, in a barracks in a labor camp, and more. Peter's illustrations paints the Nazi face as the face of an animal. 22 p. The cover in brown and red. Good condition.
