One of the drawings comes from the Institute of Contemporary History of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, while the other 23 were discovered by chance in the history archives of the regional war veterans’ association.
The Trieste museum is keeping its word. The collection of drawings, entitled Occhi Vetrificati (Vitrified Eyes), which it received to have in its keeping for the next 50 years, will be displayed to the public today. The images of suffering and dying prisoners awake feelings in people. All the drawings are numbered. 20 of them were also signed by the artist. Mušič attached the inscription “Dachau 1945” and also added eerie titles to some of the drawings. Their value is priceless.
"They are a unique testimony, for in a time when the past is still denied they tell about the things that happened, " said the museum’s director Laura Carlini Fanfogna.
The exhibition will be open until the 2nd of April.
