Half-length portrait of German chemist Otto Ambros, holding a paper upon which is written "O. Ambros," based on a photograph taken by the United States Army at the Nuremburg Trials. Text at the bottom reads "I.G. Farben Director, Aushwitz, 'Our new friendship with the SS is proving very profitable.'" A first-state impression [CMA 2001.034.391] has handwritten black pencil text at the bottom, likely the one photographed for the Perpetrators exhibition catalogues.
