Many prisoners and liberating soldiers took it upon themselves to record their experiences, preserve their memories and show the world what happened. Creations range from the deeply personal responses of survivors to the more documentary approach of official war artist pieces. Some made drawings of the prisoners and life in the camps, while others created art during and after liberation. Children as well as adults documented events of the Holocaust through art. In some circumstances, imprisoned artists were able to create sketches and paintings for guards, earning extra food or other benefits as a reward, which helped some to survive life in the camps. A number of the survivors turned to art as an outlet for their trauma."@en . "1944 August 12-1944 December 08" . . . "overall: Height: 7.250 inches (18.415 cm) | Width: 10.500 inches (26.67 cm)"@en .
