Hermann Struck 1876-1944 was a German Jewish artist known for his etchings. A fervent Zionist and Jewish activist Struck visited the Land of Israel in 1903 displayed his art at the Fifth Zionist Congress and was a founder of the Mizrachi Religious Zionist movement. At the same time he was a German patriot and volunteered for military service in World War I serving as a translator liaison officer and military artist. Hermann Struck was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class and promoted to an officer for bravery in 1917 he became the referent for Jewish affairs at the German Eastern Front High Command. Struck immigrated to Palestine in 1922 taught at Bezalel Academy and helped establish the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. He visited Berlin every summer until the Nazis rose to power.<br /> <br /> From the beginning of the war the German authorities found themselves confronted with an unexpected influx of prisoners. In September 1914 125050 French soldiers and 94000 Russian ones were held captive. Before 1915 conditions of detention in Germany were very harsh and marked by temporary lodging and the absence of infrastructure. The prisoners slept in hangars or tents where they dug holes to keep warm. The humid forts requisitioned to serve as places of detention led to numerous cases of pulmonary illness. The German authorities also commandeered schools barns and various other types of shelters. Camps were established in the countryside as well as near the towns which had consequences when epidemics of cholera or typhus threatened to spread to the civilian population. Not all the camps were situated on German territory; a certain number were built in occupied territories notably in northern and eastern France. They began to be developed starting in 1915 when the number of prisoners being held captive in Germany reached 652000. According to official directives each prisoner had to have use of 26.9 square foot 2.5 m². The camps mixed a large number of nationalities sharing the same quarters: French Russian British American Canadian Belgian Italian Romanian Serbian Montenegrin Portuguese and Japanese prisoners were found there as well as Greeks and Brazilians. Equally soldiers of various social origins rubbed elbows: workers peasants bureaucrats and intellectuals were among those held. The number of prisoners rose very quickly. From February to August 1915 it went from 652000 to 1045232. In August 1916 it reached 1625000 jumping to 2415000 by October 1918.
