Warsaw ghetto archival footage - Warszawskie getto - ווארשעווער געטא

[@VanlifewithAlan]

The Italian state broadcaster RAI has made a copyright claim on this film and it is consequently blocked in Italy. I would be interested to know how RAI claims this copyright, assuming of course that some camera team from Italy is responsible for the filming. I think that they ought to tell us. I found this film in the film archives in Warsaw.

The Germans made this film in July 1942 and very few of these people were alive 4 months later.

[@cunard61]

Michael Whisman - Really, they filmed these scenes the same month that the Nazis began the transports to Treblinka? It had to have been made as some form of propaganda, presumably to record the ghetto and it's inhabitants just before it disappeared. There are better quality films in existence, such as "A Film Unfinished", that actually captures the German film makers themselves in a few frames, including the lead photographer, Willi Wist.

[@ninjasprawiedliwy9209]

did the Germans transported them only to treblinka or also to auschwitz ??

[@MichaelT_123]

The Ghetto is the Jewish name of a self-closed suburb in medieval Venice, where the local merchants traded commodities (metals, silk, spices, slaves, ...) between the East and the West. The separation from a broader community assured the kosher life of locals, limiting contacts with un-cleans. It was (and still is) quite common practice through centuries. So this was the Jewish Ghetto.
