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 similar footage of placing corpse in a casket, see Story 2115, Film ID 2257, Story 723, Film ID 247 (although those shots are much poorer quality and less gruesome) and Story 3824, Film ID 2324. For similar footage of Jewish police driving people through streets, see Story 2546 b, Film ID 248 and Story 2114, Film ID 2257 (longer, better quality). For reversed image (Warsaw Ghetto NR1), see 14:23:18 to 14:24:26 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.
