Description

Published to coincide with an exhibition of drawings and watercolours produced by two refugee artists, Hugo Dachinger and Walter Nessler, held in the south Liverpool Huyton internment camp during World War Two. Using improvised materials, Dachinger and Nessler recorded the forbidding physical appearance of the camp and, more importantly, the dreariness of camp life and the suffering of the internees.
