A sinister post, detailing a rag doll of a male concentration camp prisoner. The clothing is made from real prisoner's clothing.
The doll was given to the donor's (to the IWM Collection) step-grandfather, Gwyn Jones (British soldier) by former prisoners after the liberation of Bergen-Belsen.
Details of similar items made by liberated Belsen prisoners, and on occupational therapy at the camp in general.
They can be found in Letters from Belsen 1945: An Australian Nurse's Experiences with the Survivors of War by Muriel Knox Doherty, Judith Cornell, and R.Lynette Russell.
