Opis

This book offers visual, social-historical analyses of paintings and drawings by the German Communist Karl Schwesig, following the course of Schwesig’s own internments and the dehumanizing treatment that characterized the racialization of Jewish and "mixed-race" persons in Vichy France and the attempted elimination of political dissidents.
