Acquisition

Jake Lorfing donated copies of his film to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Apr. 22, 2005.

Scope and Content

Consists of a videocassette and DVD, each containing a documentary entitled "Marian." The documentary, 46 minutes long, juxtaposes an exhibition of Marian Kołodziej's post-war artwork with an oral history interview about his experiences. Mr. Kołodziej was a Catholic prisoner in Auschwitz from 1940-1944, and was liberated from Ebensee. By depicting their faces, his artwork focuses on the demoralization of the victims and prisoners in the camps.
