Blind man in Belsen , Alan Moore, 1947, Painted in Melbourne, Oil on Canvas, From the collection of :   Australian War Memorial   "Moore accompanied a British unit, the Welsh Guards, during the liberation of this notorious Nazi concentration camp on 15 April 1945.

This painting can be found at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, ...
