Abraham Lewin, an educator and a member of the clandestine Oyneg Shabbes (“Joy of the Sabbath”) Archive maintained a diary depicting the wartime events in the Warsaw ghetto. It is rare in that it covers in real time the Great Deportation of the summer 1942, during which some 265,000 Jews were deported to their deaths in Treblinka, and some 10,000 were murdered within the ghetto. Abraham Lewin survived the Great Deportation and continued documenting the tragic events of the ghetto until his capture by the Nazis.

Why is the whole world deaf to our screams?? Earth do not cover our blood and keep silent.... Such powerful words

I think of and weep for these people and all those in history who have perished due to hate and brutality. The beautiful song "tell me there's a heaven" by Chris Rea brings to mind the multi Billions of human lives. When WILL humanity EVER learn?

2:55 the girls in the background hurt me so much

Poor,poor people. Such suffering IS the world. Everyone hates one another. My father killed a German soldier in hand to hand combat in WW 2. Today he would be declared a murderer. Go figure.
