Six paintings (watercolor on paper) depicting the Gurs Detention Camp (Le camp de Gurs), France, by Ono Berndt, 1941.
The paintings show the various detention camp buildings (living quarters, kitchen). On the reverse side of the painting with the title “Total” (which shows a general view of the camp) there is another painting forming a title on which is written “Gurs 1941", and the name of the artist, Ono Berndt.
The Gurs detention Camp, in south west France, was established by the government of the Third French Republic, in 1939, after the fall of Catalonia at the end of the Spanish Civil War, to control the stream of refugees coming over the Spanish border. At the beginning of WWII German and other citizens from Axis countries were imprisoned there as well as French citizens who were thought to be dangerous politically. With the establishment of the Vichy regime in France, which collaborated with the Nazis, the camp became a detention camp for Jews who did not have French citizenship, as for others who were regarded as a danger to the government. Many of the Jews imprisoned there died as a result of the harsh conditions of the camp, and for others the camp served as a station on the way to the extermination camps in the east.
Total of six paintings on five paper sheets, 16X12 cm each, in a passe-partout 22X28 cm. Good condition, a few stains. Drawing pin holes at the corners of the pictures.

TOLKACZEW, Zinowij [Tolkatchev, Zinovii]. Majdanek [Maydanek – A Destruction Camp]. Warsaw: Czytelnik, 1945.
Limited edition, numbered portfolio (600 copies) containing 28 paintings by Tolkatchev, created after he participated in the Soviet liberation of the Maydanek concentration camp in July 1944. Tolkatchev was a Russian artist who enlisted in the Red Army in 1941. In 1944, he was stationed on the Ukrainian front, near Majdanek. Horrified by what he witnessed, Tolkatchev spent a month painting scenes from within the newly liberated death camp. A member of the Polish-Soviet Nazi Crimes Investigation Commission encouraged Tolkatchev’s work and in November 1944, his exhibition of Majdanek paintings became one of the earliest artistic depictions to publicly document the Nazi death camps. When this portfolio was published soon after, in February 1945, the Polish Government sent copies to Allied heads of states and government and military officers. Looking back on his work, Tolkatchev wrote, “I did what I had to do; I couldn’t refrain from doing it. My heart commanded, my conscience demanded.” Today these works are in the collection of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem.
[3, 8, 26] pp, 36x26cm. Text in Polish, Russian, English and French. Good Plus condition, with minor wear to the edges of some pages. A few pages with creases and restored tears. Lacking original portfolio cover. Enclosed in a custom cloth-covered clamshell case.
Accompanied by "Private Tolkatchev at the Gates of Hell – Majdanek and Auschwitz Liberated: Testimony of an Artist", a catalog of a 2005 exhibition at Yad Vashem. All the works in the Majdanek portfolio appear and are described in the exhibition catalog.
