Lev Haas – 12 Original Lithographs from German Concentration Camps

Lev Haas – 12 Original Lithographs from German Concentration Camps (12 původních litografií z německých koncentračních táborů) Prague: Svaz osvobozených politických vězňů a pozůstalých po politických vězních v Praze II, 1947. Oblong folio (48 × 32 cm). 12 original lithographs. Very good. A powerful and historically significant portfolio by Czech-Jewish artist Lev Haas, produced shortly after his liberation from Terezín and Auschwitz. The twelve stark black-and-white lithographs form a harrowing visual testimony to life inside Nazi concentration camps, depicting forced labor, starvation, brutality, and death alongside rare moments of solidarity. Executed in a raw, expressionist line, the images are based on Haas’s direct experience as a survivor and member of the Terezín artists’ circle, where drawing functioned both as resistance and documentation. Issued in Prague in the immediate postwar period by an association of former political prisoners, this scarce portfolio stands as an important example of early Holocaust testimony in graphic art. Clean and complete, with strong impressions. Text in Czech, English, Russian and French. VG condition. Inv. Bx6
