Lyon: Imprimerie artistique en couleurs, 1946

The 78 unbound plates in paper covers that comprise this work are drawings made in Buchenwald concentration camp by Auguste Favier and Pierre Mania, and with one plate by Boris Taslitzky (1911–2005), with a preface by Christian Pineau (1904–1995). All four were camp inmates. Favier’s portraits include studies of Armand Kohn (1894–1962), Secretary-general of the Rothschild Foundation and director of the Rothschild Hospital in Paris, whose wife, mother, and two of his four children died in the camps; Dr Mazoyer, who may be René Mazoyer who was transported from Toulouse on 31 July 1944 and who was released when Buchenwald was liberated; Robert Benoist (1895–1944), the celebrated Grand Prix racing driver, who joined the Special Operations Executive, was arrested and transported to Buchenwald, and hanged there with 22 other Allied paratroops in September 1944; and this image of Julien Cain (1887–1974), Director of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, 1930–1940 and after reinstatement, 1946–1964, who was arrested in 1941 and deported to Buchenwald in January 1944.
