Focus on this artwork and discuss the Herbert Jogerst.
Herbert Jogerst was a German prisoner of war during World War II. He was incarcerated in Morganfield, Kentucky at Camp Breckenridge in 1943. He worked on sculptures as a prisoner and impressed the camp chaplain, Peter Behrman, who was a priest at the St. Meinrad Archabbey. Jogerst returned to Germany in 1948 and struggled to find work as an artist. He contacted Behrman for assistance and St. Meinrad Archabbey commissioned Jogurst to create some sculptures. Jogerst died in 1993.
