This is from my good friend, Ted Bobosh, who recently returned from a trip to Europe that focused on both famous and infamous sites of WWII. As he writes:
This beautiful icon is in the Russian Chapel in Dachau
It shows Christ leading the prisoners out of Dachau. Dachau was liberated during Orthodox Holy week in 1945. There were many Orthodox prisoners there including a number of priests and bishops. They celebrated the Paschal Liturgy on the Sunday after being liberated. The icon commemorates that. It is patterned on Christ's harrowing of Hades icons.
