THAT IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF HISTORY!!
The first version of these notes was rejected by SS-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich (German viceroy in Prague and responsible for the concentration camps in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia), because it showed Moses with too Western features (' Aryans'). As a result, Semitic features were added to the portrait (curly hair, hooked nose).
Another request from Heydrich was that Moses' hand should cover the sixth commandment
(i.e. 'Thou shalt not commit murder' - לא ארצח - 'lo tir-tzach').
