Scenes of flattened area of Warsaw ghetto; presumably post-war footage. Wide pans, including a fragment of the ghetto wall (14:38:17) near large standing ruin of building. Ends with inscription in Polish (14:39:45). This is the temporary memorial to the ghetto.

Note(s)

  • See also Story 4049, Film ID 2707 (Bundesarchiv) or Story 3840, Film ID 2661 (WFDiF) for a more recent transfer of the same film reel. For reversed image (Warsaw Ghetto NR1), see 14:24:26 to 14:26:21 on this tape. This footage was brought from the DDR by R. Raack. It appears to be a compilation of shots from various sources. The duplicate negative was poorly made (Warsaw Ghetto NR1); some shots were reversed. John E. Allen changed position of reel each time. Burn-in time codes appears on Betacam SP version (Protection copy) as well as the VHS. NCJF can make their one-inch version available on a loan basis. The digital files made from videotape in 2014 were not clipped properly. Refer to Film ID 2707 for digitized video contents.
