German concentration camp

This portrait of German concentration camp prisoner Hans Kurzweil by Jewish engraver Felix Cytrin is on display at the American Society for Yad Vashem, Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011, in New York, after a collection of 43 portraits by Cytrin were donated to the Israeli Holocaust remembrance museum by Cytrin heirs in a ceremony. The portrait is part of collection of portraits of Jewish prisoners given the dubious choice of forging fake money for the Nazis or almost certain death, famously fictionalized in the Oscar-winning film "The Counterfeiters".
