- b&w, inside the museum of Dachau. Two mannequins dressed as camp prisoner and camp guard act out a scene of torture. The prisoner is being flogged by the guard: his upper body is strapped onto a wooden torture table and his feet are encased in a wooden box. A stained-glass-type painting in the background shows a naked, emaciated prisoner being help up by two saints. The photograph seems to have been taken at Dachau concentration camp to recreate a punishment scene. Narrative: This scene was part of the second exhibit made by the German survivors of Dachau. It was supposed to show the torture the inmates had suffered since as early as 1933.The exhibit was displayed in the crematorium of Dachau from the end of 1945 to 1950.

- Two sided printed form to send letter from concentration camp. Recto is printed with mail related rules, the recipient's address is handwritten on right hand side, on top right is a red postal stemp with Hitler's profile and a circular postal ink stamp with the date and location. On verso is handwritten a letter dated 1943-07-17. In the letter, Dawicki thanks his parents for a parcel, with stamps and money, that they sent to him. Narrative: Letter was sent from Heinrich Dawicki, born 1914-04-20 to his parents in Lodz (Litzmannstadt). Dawicki was not Jewish, he was a haircutter and he was arrested by the Gestapo on 1940-05-20 in Lodz. The reason of his arrest is unknown. His prisoner's number in Dachau concentration camp was 11707. Prisoners were allowed to write letters to their families, but only in German language and at most two times the month. The letters were censored and mentionning the situation in the camp was not allowed. The contents of all the letters sent are therefore very similar. Heinrich Dawicki was liberated on 1945-04-29. We don´t know what happened to him after. In the Concentration Camp Inmates Questionnaire from 1945-07-20 kept in the Dachau memorial archives, he claims to go back to his family in Lodz.
