Warsaw: Life and Death in the Ghetto which the Germans established there during WWII


An early Ghetto street scene. The Germans attempt to establish a semblance of law and order in the Ghetto. They succeed in drafting the best-known citizens into serving on the Jewish Council ("Judenrat") that officially governs the Ghetto from the very first day of its establishment. To secure "order," the Germans form a uniformed Jewish police force.
