Pencil drawing created by Henryk Hechtkopf after his return to Warsaw, Poland, in 1946. It depicts the rubble strewn remains of Nalewski Street. In September 1939, Poland was invaded and partitioned by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Henryk, a lawyer, was placed in Soviet captivity and sent to a slave labor camp. He survived imprisonment due to his drawing talent.
