MIDEAST AUSCHWITZ ART - from our story 'Faces of Auschwitz: 1940 to eternity with heroes, victims and villains'

Jewish prisoners insert the bodies of fellow Jews into a furnace in Auschwitz in an ink drawing by Holocaust survivor and artist David Olere. This is one of about 40 ink drawings by the French artist who survived the Sonderkommando, the unit of Jewish prisoners forced to work in the death camp s crematoria. On display at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, Olere s pictures are the world s only visual record of the inner workings of the Nazi s factory-like killing machine at Auschwitz.
