Description:
This is a folio of thirty prints executed in the German expressionist style. They were created in 1948-9 by Jewish internees at the Karaolos deportation camp in Famagusta. Over fifty thousand Jews on their way to Israel were kept for some time in Cyprus by the British authorities between 1946-1949. Despite their meagre means, each one of twenty-six internees printed one representation of their lives within the camp. All representations were circulated in twenty-six copies, one for each of the artists
