Part of the collection: The portfolio of graphics "La Mémoire Gravée" by Izaak Celnikier
Popularization note
The German title refers to the order given to prisoners to strip naked. Most often, that meant being condemned to immediate extermination in a gas chamber. The figures, brought out by the scant light from the dark background, gathered in a multi-figure composition, are usually not yet naked. On some faces there is still uncertainty, on others – already terror.
