About Maja Berezowska From 1933 to 1936 she lived in Paris and worked for magazines such as Le Figaro, Le Rire and Ici Paris. She made a number of caricatures of Adolf Hitler that led to official protests from the German embassy in Paris, which denounced Berezowska. She appeared in court but did not have to pay a fine. Nazi Germans, however, remembered her great outrage. After her return to Poland and the outbreak of the Second World War, she was imprisoned in Pawiak and later - with the death penalty - sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp and imprisoned there. After the liberation of the Ravensbrück camp by the Soviet troops, she, with a group of other Polish women, first left for Stockholm and a year later, in 1946, she returned to her native Poland and settled in Warsaw.
