    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Pastel drawing on paper, mounted to white matboard. The painting depicts an individual lying down, with buildings in the background. One of six (6) works of art created by artist Susanne Berglind (donor's mother) illustrating her experiences during the Holocaust. Susanne Zimmerman was born in Miskolic, Hungary and was interned in the ghetto there. Susanne was deported to a series of concentration camps with her sister and mother, including Auschwitz, Płaszów and Bergen Belsen. Her mother died at liberation in Bergen-Belsen. The six works of art, which are watercolor on tissue or pastel on paper, document these experiences. Susanne was taken to Sweden after liberation on June 28, 1945 on the Kastleholm, where she recuperated.
