Summary: Part of a Nazi German documentary, never publicly shown, with a variety of mainly staged scenes of Jewish life in the Warsaw Ghetto, which highlights the contrast between a minority of wealthy Jews of westernised appearance still enjoying well-stocked delicatessens, cafe society and the theatre, and their less fortunate neighbours, dressed in dirty rags, suffering from typhus and some imprisoned by the Judenrat's own Ordnungspolizei.
Description: Shop sign R Frydman. Ordnungspolizei policeman pushing Jews. Jews on cart and on crutches; close ups of faces.
