Painter and caricaturist Flatter drew this portrait of Nigerian law graduate and fellow activist, Simeon. His pianist-composer wife Hilda Loewe (Löwi) tutored Simeon’s wife Elsa, a Trinidadian opera singer, thereby linking the ‘Hitler emigre’ and the new postwar African-Caribbean immigrant generations.

Best-known for his satirical anti-Hitler Mein Kampf Illustrated cartoons, Flatter was briefly interned in 1940 in Hutchinson Camp, Isle of Man. Afterwards, he worked as a cartoonist with the Ministry of Information (1940-45) and for papers including Free Austria, Die Zeitung and the Daily Telegraph. He worked for pro-de Gaulle French publications and served in the Home Guard. As an Official War Artist he attended the Nuremberg Trials. Flatter later wrote: 'I drew many hundreds of cartoons during the war and, to my surprise, ideas never failed me. The moving force was hatred [...] I went about in the shape of my adversaries. I crept into their skin. I drew, hanged and quartered them'. He gave many of his drawings to his friends, including Ann and John Tusa, authors of The Nuremberg Trial.
