A Holocaust Mystery Finds Some Answers
The latest report, A Holocaust Mystery Finds Some Answers, discusses a book of drawings.

From the article:

Arrival, enslavement, torture, death – the 30 pictures expose the worsening nightmare through the artist’s eye for the essential, and add graphic texture to the body of testimony by Holocaust survivors.

This story continues a series of reports from the Associated Press from the archive of the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany.

The article goes on to tell the research and story of who the artists of these images were and how the material came into the possession of the owner.

In addition to drawn images,

“The album also has 258 photographs. Some are copies of well-known, haunting images of piles of victims’ bodies taken by the U.S. army that liberated the camp. Others are photographs, apparently taken for Nazi propaganda, portraying Dachau as an idyllic summer camp. Still others are personal snapshots of Unger with Polish refugees or with American soldiers who befriended him.”
