This little girl's name was Tereska and she suffered brain damage from a piece of shrapnel when her grandmother's home was flattened by a b*mb.
She and her sister walked 40 miles to get out of Warsaw. This drawing was done while she was in a "a home for disturbed children" after the war. She was never in a concentration camp but she still lost her home, her family, and her mind. Apparently Tereska's brain damage wasn't severe, under better circumstances she would probably recover. Her poor mental state was result of trauma. She was also quite good at drawing, and could draw a house just fine. But they asked her to draw "home".
