M Bogaert

I have a beautiful large charcoal drawing of my mother, taken from a photo. It is signed M. Bogaert, Thorn, 11.3.1942. I have just discovered this camp, Stalag XXA is in Thorn Poland. So, my father Norman Key, must have been a prisoner here at some time, as well as Stalag 383, in Hohenfels. Is there a relative of M. Bogaert, who was exceptional portrait artist, out there? I have tried looking for him on the prisoner list, for Thorn XXA, but he may be American, Dutch or English. I would love to know if he survived the war, and I have a wonderful reminder of his signed work.
