Summary
Title and other information from lot catalog card.
"Sculptors and artists have arisen out of the 20,000 refugees in a big UNRRA desert camp in the Middle East. They have considerable talent which is being fostered with the supply of paints, brushes, canvas, and the sculptors treat their own clay. Altogether the cultural section in the camp is becoming increasingly popular, and the outcome is startlingly good." (Source: Caption list "Captions for OWI Pictures of El Shatt Camp" included with LOT 2183)
