Stamp and caption on the back. Tmej documented with this image the most dangerous moment of his life, in 1942, when he was arrested by Gestapo agents: “Herr Tmej? Slyšeli jsme, že tady fotografujete. Víte, že je tady prístav a vnem se fotografovat nesmí? Mužeme ty snímky videt?´ Peclive si ho prohlíželi. V tom jsem si uvedomil, že tam je fotografie, kde je na stene velká fotka Hitlera a pred ní na provázku visí cedule Schluss neboli konec. Tak ted bude konec se mnou”.
