The inkstand
has two inkwells, one on
either end, and a shallow depression in
front for the pen.
The stand is carved in the shape of a bridge. The detainees
pressured the British to build a bridge over the road which
separated two of the camps in
order to facilitate movement between them.
The
unknown artist who crafted this unique artifact carved three
identical models which he presented to Yehoshua Leibner, Moishe Laub
(the JDC director) and to Golda Meir, who visited the camps. As far
as is known this is the only surviving model.
