Object Description[SS Dog] The etching was done, postwar, by Leo Haas based on his experiences and earlier work done while he was interned at Terezin. With a trail of many people in the background several figures are shown, up close, heads down carrying bags and sacks. A wolfhound, with an SS medallion on his collar, runs beside them. Probably done in East Germany.

Notes The following thoughts have been translated (by Frank Furth) from Haas' own words in Terezin/Theresienstadt, published by Eulenspiegel Verlag Berlin, 1971. "The SS showed most of the time a great love for animals, particularly for wolfhounds. Under their protection the wanderers with the yellow stars from Terezin to Bohusovice to the train to the east, were safe."
