This anonymous black and white photograph captures a young woman, possibly Isabel Wachenheimer, lying in bed and drawing. The image, dated between 1945 and 1947, provides a glimpse into the life of a woman during this period, showcasing her creativity and resilience. The intimate setting suggests a personal moment, while the drawing pad and pencil imply a dedication to artistic expression, even in the face of challenging circumstances. This photograph, likely taken from a personal collection, offers a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art in individual lives.
Comments
Isabel Wachenheimer still signed with her concentration camp number, ‘K.Z. häftling No 918’ three months after she was liberated. Just see the inscription on the back of a portrait photograph of her taken on 25 September 1945. Isabel was a broken person after the war. She slowly recuperated from a fractured vertebra in Davos (Switzerland). In November 1946 Isabel married Leo Blumensohn, a fellow victim she met in the Westerbork transit camp.
