This simple drawing was a collaboration between two artists. In 1941, both Karl Bodek and Kurt Conrad Low were being in the Gurs Internment Camp in Southern France. This was the view they had: a butterfly sitting on barbed wire with the Spanish mountains in the background. Kurt Conrad Low managed to escape to Switzerland. Karl Bodek died at Auschwitz.
