- Black ink on white paper. Outdoor scene with ghetto buildings in the background and a large number of people divided in two groups with 6 German soldiers in between them. In the foreground one can see a woman holding a baby in her arm and holding another child by the hand as well as a man carrying a young girl in his arms. People are running in all directions. This print refers to round-ups performed by the German soldiers to select people to be deported from the ghetto to the death camps. Narrative: All 16 of the prints in this series depict life of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. Printmaker, book illustrator and painter, Stefan Mrozewski was born in Czéstochowa, Poland.
