Jerzy Zielezinski was born in Poland. He was arrested as a political prisoner and sent to the Warsaw Ghetto by the German occupation authorities and was ultimately transported to Dachau concentration camp where he remained until the camp was liberated. In the camp, Zielszinski had drawn on scraps of paper, using remnants of salvaged charcoal from the heating stoves. After the war, while convalescing, he replicated his sketches and in 1946, he produced two portfolios of drawings based on sketches depicting his experiences both at Warsaw and Dachau. The first, K. Z. Album (Prisoner Album), presents his visual account of the Warsaw Ghetto, while the second, Twenty-four Drawings from the Concentration Camps in Germany documents his observations and experiences at Dachau. Eventually he emigrated to the US, and by the name George Ziel became a successful illustrator.
