Theresienstadt – Auschwitz – Schwarzheide: Das sind die Leidensstationen des jungen tschechischen Künstlers Alfred Kantor in den Jahren 1941-1945. Im Juli 1945, zehn Wochen nach der Befreiung aus dreieinhalb Jahre dauernder Haft in Lagern des NS-Regimes, kam der damals zweiundzwanzigjährige Kantor nach Deggendorf in ein Lager für »Displaced Persons«. Dort schuf er in etwa zwei Monaten die in diesem Band vorgelegten 127 mit Wasserfarben kolorierten Zeichnungen, die er in einem von einem Buchbinder eigens angefertigten Buch mit leeren Blättern eintrug.

Work Description
In his book, The Book of Alfred Kantor, there are the 127 sketches and paintings most of which he had made while in the three concentration camps he was imprisoned in. The art in the book depicts the history Kantor witnessed like the infamous chief physician, Josef Mengele in his Nazi Uniform. Others in the book were re-creations since not all art was encouraged in the concentration camps. It was first published in 1971 by McGraw-Hill and the second edition was published in 1987 by Schocken Books.
