Acquisition

Carolyn Councell, artist, donated the drawings to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives in July 1994.

Scope and Content

The collection consists of six drawings, three of each image. One image is of a group of women inmates stretching their hands out beyond a barbed wire fence, and the other shows a male inmate grasping a barbed wire fence. Note: The USHMM Library has a copy of Doherty's book.
