DescriptionDrawing in pencil on a recycled scrap piece of paper of an execution scene. A group of six prisoners stand before four armed guards. A bearded Kapo stands on the right. The rifles are positioned to fire at the prisoners. The Jews have a Star of David on their right breast. Stars were normally worn on the left side. There is text written in uppercase on the top left side. In German, it states "Jews in Concentration Camps. Parcels with food are permitted. Any other additional attachments are prohibited and will be confiscated." The drawing has been done on the back of a printed sheet from a dairy, which lists the price of items such as cheese and cream.
