Buchenwald was a concentration camp in Nazi Germany during World War II in a wooded area near the city of Weimar. The almost completely isolated camp was established in 1937 by SS'ers and prisoners. Buchenwald was liberated on 11 April 1945 by the Sixth Armoured Division of the Third US Army. Initially called Konzentrationslager Ettersberg after its location, the camp was soon renamed Konzentrationslager Buchenwald/Post Weimar at the intercession of Weimar's culture committee.
This painting shows two men, one of whom is emaciated by the horrors the artist himself also experienced, but survived.
Emil Filla (4 April 1882 - 7 October 1953) was a Czech painter. He was a leader of the avant-garde in Prague between World War I and World War II and was an early Cubist painter.
On the first day of World War II, he was arrested by the Gestapo for his anti-Nazi activism and subsequently imprisoned in the German concentration camps Dachau and Buchenwald.
