stretch or lie down
for the 48 hours of
his punishment.
For a Crust of Bread

106144, is seen both on his shirt
and as a tattoo on his left arm.
Destruction of the Jewish People
The fire
consumes
Torahs and other
Jewish religious
pieces, as well
as various
Christian
religious articles.
The powerful artwork by David Olre vividly portrays the atrocities faced by prisoners during the Holocaust, including their struggles, suffering, and resilience in the face of unimaginable horrors. Each image tells a poignant story of survival, loss, and the indomitable human spirit amidst the darkest chapter in history.
