Adler, Miklos ("Ben Benjamin"). Sixteen woodcut illustrations

(HOLOCAUST)

Hechalutz

Debrecen (Hungary)

(1946?)

Artist's introduction and captions in four languages: English, Hebrew, Hungarian and Russian

In his introduction, the artist explains that his book has no title because one cannot find a word to express the tragedy that befell the European Jews in the last years. Hungarian Jewish artist Miklos Adler ("Ben Benjamin"), utilizing the medium of the woodcut, conveys the enormity of the crimes perpetrated against the Jews of Europe in World War Two. Some of these woodcuts by Adler appear in the Passover Hagadah issued in Munich in 1946 under the auspices of the United States Third Army. (The Hagadah was sold in Kestenbaum Sale 37, Lot 91)
