1 . A Photograph of the liberated inmates of the concentration camp orchestra – "Jewish Ex- Concentration Camp Orchestra" - Live at the Opera House in Nuremberg on May 7, 1946. The orchestra members perform on the stage dressed in striped prison uniform underneath which one can see a tie. The setting is comprised of two main elements that symbolize the torn path of the liberated inmates: barbed wire fence and a yellow star of David with the inscription "Jude" stands side by side with a pole out of which grows a palm tree – on it we see another star of David with the inscription "Zion." At the front of the stage there are nine rectangles with blue and white stripes and on them we see the inscription "Am Israel Hai (The Israel People Live)" 20X26 cm. Good condition.
