Cartonnage workshop at the Novaky labor camp

In this photo you can see the cartonnage workshop at the Novaky labor camp. I think that in 1943 a delegation from Bratislava came, and this photo was taken on that occasion. My brother was employed in the workshop as a cardboard maker, as we're from a book-printing family. They made him assistant manager of the workshop. My brother Ervin is in the first row, fourth from the left, in the middle of the second row, wearing glasses, is the workshop manager Mr. Werner with his wife. Second from the left is Mr. Bienenstock, a baker from Prievidza. The photograph was taken by the photo workshop of the Novaky concentration camp.
