The issue of post-war Displaced Persons involves millions of people who have been moved out of their homes as a result of events of war. The organization taking care of them (in particular UNRRA) was never as large and cooperative before. However, the post-war dynamic period marked the course of future events. What was originally a temporary problem was transformed into the situation with long-term impacts, particularly in the context of refugee policy. The Displaced Person studies seemed to take on the difficulties of the subject itself. It is a distinct domain, but it cannot be separated from other topics without distortion. On the contrary, it introduces a new dimension into these topics and shows clearly the transformation of post-war society as well as the complicated destiny of individual human lives.

In the concentration camp, many artists drew at the risk of their lives. These productions can tell us a lot about the condition of life in the camps, but they also raise several questions that are related to the philosophy of art. Why draw? Does the artist respond to an inner urge to reproduce? Is this idea of beauty a response of the mind to the horrible? Could atrocity push us to see beauty where we have never seen it? In this article we propose to present some clandestine productions made in the camps and to question their status which seems to defy the concept of decorative art and pushes us to rethink the notion of beauty.
