Copy of a portrait drawing of Lieutenant Joseph Vinnitsky, 29, a Jewish soldier in the Soviet Army, created after he escaped a German prisoner of war camp in the Soviet Union in 1942. He wrote a note on the back to his parents telling them his route after departing the camp. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, Joseph was interned by the Germans. He escaped in 1942, and continued to serve in the Soviet Army in the Soviet Union and Bulgaria. Nearly his entire family was killed in the massacres at Babi Yar.
