In this spectacular monograph, artist Hermann Struck, who was serving in the Imperial German army as a translator, liaison officer and military artist, sketched the faces of one hundred prisoners of war in the German camps. Among the French, British, Belgian and Russian inmates were also included soldiers from the British Empire (mostly from India) as well as the French Empire (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Senegal). The prisoners' age range from 12 (Anton Matyszewski, a volunteer from Lomza, Russian Poland) to 56 (Mohammed ben Ahmed, Spahi from Djelfa, French Algeria). It is interesting to note that the Jewish prisoners were identified first by their religion, then by the place they came from (exemple: Chacus Krasikow, Jew from Lubin, Russian Poland; Isaak Chotoran, Jew from Kiev (Ukraine); Bomblatt David, Polish Jew from Warsaw, etc.). Bomblatt David is sketched twice: After Struck drew his face, he added a second sketch depicting the prisoner reading the Talmud. Each plate is handsigned in pencil by the artist. The booklet contains a foreword, and an essay on ethnology in the World War, by Prof. Dr. Felix von Luschan (1854-1924), an Austrian doctor, anthropologist, explorer, archaeologist and ethnographer who joined the German Society for Racial Hygiene in 1908. The society was an eugenic organization whose goal was "for society to return to a healthy and blooming, strong and beautiful life." As Alfred Ploetz, its founder, put it, the Nordic race was supposed to regain its "purity" through selective reproduction and sterilization. The society ceased to exist after WWI.

A fervent Zionist and Jewish activist, Struck visited the Land of Israel in 1903, displayed his art at the Fifth Zionist Congress, and was a founder of the Mizrachi Religious Zionist movement. At the same time, he was a German patriot and volunteered for military service in World War I serving as a translator, liaison officer and military artist. Hermann Struck was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class and promoted to an officer for bravery, in 1917 he became the referent for Jewish affairs at the German Eastern Front High Command. Struck immigrated to Palestine in 1922, taught at Bezalel Academy and helped establish the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. He visited Berlin every summer until the Nazis rose to power. ** From the beginning of the war, the German authorities found themselves confronted with an unexpected influx of prisoners. In September 1914, 125,050 French soldiers and 94,000 Russian ones were held captive. Before 1915, conditions of detention in Germany were very harsh and marked by temporary lodging and the absence of infrastructure. The prisoners slept in hangars or tents, where they dug holes to keep warm. The humid forts requisitioned to serve as places of detention led to numerous cases of pulmonary illness. The German authorities also commandeered schools, barns and various other types of shelters. Camps were established in the countryside as well as near the towns, which had consequences when epidemics of cholera or typhus threatened to spread to the civilian population. Not all the camps were situated on German territory; a certain number were built in occupied territories, notably in northern and eastern France. They began to be developed starting in 1915 when the number of prisoners being held captive in Germany reached 652,000. According to official directives, each prisoner had to have use of 26.9 square foot (2.5 m ). The camps mixed a large number of nationalities sharing the same quarters: French, Russian, British, American, Canadian, Belgian, Italian, Romanian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Portuguese and Japanese prisoners were found there, as well as Greeks and Brazilians. Equally, soldiers of various social origins rubbed elbows: workers, peasants, bureaucrats and intellectuals were among those held. The number of prisoners rose very quickly. From February to August 1915, it went from 652,000 to 1,045,232. In August 1916, it reached 1,625,000, jumping to 2,415,000 by October 1918.
