During World War II Szmuel Warkowicki's life was saved thanks to his drawings, such as this one, a colorful depiction of various animals. Over a period of approximately two years, Szmuel wandered from one Ukrainian village to another under an assumed identity, and drew in return for food, clothes and lodging.
