Scope and Content

Wartime. VLS from ceiling rafters of enormous barn-like room filled with refugees/ deportees (?) and their bundles. Soldiers in action, various locations (probably including USSR, Berlin, many countries), edited to represent the attack on the Warsaw Ghetto during the Uprising, and intercut with contemporary shots of smoke blowing across closeup portions of Rappaport sculpture commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Night time shot of buildings on fire (various locations; unclear if any is actually the Warsaw Ghetto). Expanse of rubble after the ghetto was destroyed and razed, likewise intercut with contemporary shots of sculpture commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Note(s)

  • Some of this footage can be found in Story 251, showing the Warsaw Uprising (Polish revolt) of 1944 (?)
