Remark |
The first draft of these notes was
rejected by SS-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich (Germany's viceregent in
Prague and responsible for the Concentration Camps in the Protectorate of
Bohemia and Moravia), as it showed Moses with too western ("Aryan") facial
features. Accordingly more semitic features were added to the portrait
(curly hair, hooked nose). |
