Painting attributed to Edmond Goergen

Goergen, a native of Luxembourg, was arrested and later interned at Mauthausen and Sachsenhausen concentration camps for resistance activities. An artist prior to his internment Goergen created small sketches in camp, and later resumed his career in the postwar era. He is known for a broad range of artworks including those documenting his experiences and scenes he witnessed. Though undated the piece was given (approximately during the 1970s) to friend and fellow Luxembourgian resistance member, Fernand Paulus (1919-), who also survived Mauthausen. A similar artwork attributed to Georgen is included on the cover of the 1970 publication, Letzeburger zu Mauthausen Luxemburg 1970 l’Amicale Luxembourg.
