Published sketches created by Leon Delarbre while imprisoned by the Germans in Dora, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, where he was liberated on April 15, 1945.. Delarbre was arrested on January 3, 1944, for resistance activities against the German regime which had occupied France since June 1940. He was a trained painter as well as a jeweler and watchmaker. In 1935, he founded the School of Fine Arts in Belfort, where he was initially jailed. Friends helped him obtain scraps of paper and pencils to document prison life. He hid the drawings in his uniform to preserve them.
