DescriptionColour tinted, black ink line drawing by Paul (Pinkus) Perkal, depicting the flogging of a concentration camp inmate. Three German officers are shown overseeing the flogging. According to Perkal's wife, Anne Perkal (the donor), her husband did the drawings (this and M1991/031:003) very soon after he was liberated from Dachau, probably in Munich where he spent some time after the war. The drawings were done from memory, based on events he had seen inside the camp.
