Thomas Geve – Zeichnungen eines kindlichen Historikers
At the beginning of 1945, a boy arrived at Buchenwald station in an open freight car on a transport from Gross-Rosen. At the camp, he was given the number 127158 and assigned to children's block 66 in the small camp. He was one of the 903 children and young people who survived the camp.
After liberation, he was given paper from the camp office - SS forms and other things, mostly in 15x12 cm format - he drew the camp world, everyday life in the concentration camp, roll call, food distribution, work, illnesses, the terror of the SS and made amazingly accurate plans.
These drawings were used to create a traveling exhibition that has already been shown in many places. The originals are in the Yad Vashem Art Museum.
