This image has been a struggle to produce. The prisoner number of an
Auschwitz survivor,
who I have contacted to ask for permission to use his number. Leon
Greenman did not ask to have his number
tattooed,so I made a decision to break my rules of never asking before
stealing an image. We had a really nice
conversation on the phone, and I got his book, "An Englishman in Auschwitz",
available through Amazon.
Considering my Nationality, my own family history, a piece that has
no humour at all, but portrays the
Human Spirit surviving, somehow, the nastyness inflicted by one's own
brothers.
