O ovoj e-knjizi
This pictorial history presents a vivid and harrowing exploration of Jewish ghettos during the Nazi occupation of Poland during WWII.
Following the 1940 invasion of Poland, the Nazis established ghettos in cities and towns across the country with the initial aim of isolating the Jewish community. These closed sectors were referred to as Judischer Wohnbezirk or Wohngebiet der Juden (Jewish Quarters). Drawing on a wealth of historical images, this volume shows the harsh and deteriorating conditions of daily life in these restricted areas.
In reality, these ghettos were holding areas where Jews were kept before being transferred to concentration, extermination, and work camps. Aware of their imminent fate, which included the threat of family separation, enslavement, and death, underground resistance groups sprung up staged numerous uprisings which were brutally and callously suppressed.
The Nazis’ ultimate aim was the liquidation of the ghettos and the extermination of their inhabitants in furtherance of The Final Solution. This may seem unthinkable today but, as this book graphically reveals, they worked to achieve their objective regardless of human suffering.
