THE ELEPHANT IN THE DARKROOM
DOOR PORTRAITS
An anonymous and destitute-looking organ grinder stands in front of the entrance to the museum and archive belonging to the Jewish Historical-Ethnographic Society in Lithuania in Kaunas' old town, whose collection was broken up by the Soviets and subsequently looted by the Nazis. The original print, which dates from sometime during the 1930s, is now held among the collection at YIVO in New York, having arrived there from the Offenbach Archival Depot after the war.
