Warsaw Ghetto

This documentary charged with documenting the gradual destruction of the almost 500,000 Jews in the walled-in Warsaw ghetto, cameramen of the German Army, the S.S., and the Gestapo made an almost anthropological study of the people. In this program, their still and motion pictures are collected (many from Himmler's personal scrapbook) and narrated by Warsaw ghetto survivor Alexander Bernfes. The program includes striking and often shocking footage showing the creation of the ghetto, the early Nazi propaganda (Jews living in relative luxury in the ghetto), scenes from everyday life, starving people in the streets, and the final, violent 10-day resistance. Narrated by Alexander Bernfes.
