1943 January 1, scrip worth 5-kronen from the Theresienstadt Jewish Ghetto.Context
Designed by Jewish inmate (Petr Kien). Intentionally made as a propaganda piece so when the Red Cross visited, the ghetto, they would see how well the Jews were treated. Petr Kien was ordered to extend the features of Moses. Notice that his fingers are extra long and gnarled to look more grotesque.Collection
