A few weeks ago I visited the Cobbaton Combat Collection www.cobbatoncombat.co.uk , were-upon they house a fantastic collection of 20th century Militaria and artefacts, well worth the visit if you want to see an abundance of ww2 weaponry from all sides as well as many Soviet and allied tanks and armoured combat vehicles, nonetheless they had a small section on the Holocaust, which consisted of a photographs and objects that had been bought back by British soldiers on the liberation of camps like Dachau and Bergen Belsen, one thing stood out from the rest, a fantastic work of art by a very skilled craftsmen, who personally had suffered behind the gates of these camps, at one point he had carved a wooden bust, of an SS camp guard who was especially notable for his cruelty. He had carved the bust with the sole intent to exact vengeance upon such Nazi scum, yet unfortunately the cold clutch of death got to the craftsman before he could make such a monster pay for his crimes. Inspired by such a story in which vengeance could drive a person through hell, I decided to sketch a portrait of the camp guard, in an effort to capture the essence of his evil, just as the craftsman before me had done, I just hope such a monster personified here, met an abysmally cruel fate so that justice had been served,
May we always remember the souls who suffered at the hands of men such as this
