@pitotipp man shut yo ass up cause you aint so pretty eitha fool

[Droxy1940]

Even 70 years later it makes your blood run cold! It is a crime unparalleled in our entire miserable world history and must shame Germany for ever.

Many thanks for keeping the memory alive of those who were killed!

No, I don't have any photos or documents. I wish I did.

@HannahBerliner It would be difficult to trace someone although prewar records exist. Some telephone books have been published on line although only business owners and richer people had telephones then.

[HannahBerliner]

Can you identify the people from the Będzin Judenrat? My family was from Dąbrowa and Będzin.

[alanheath]

@HannahBerliner I am sorry I can't.

Do you have material from the family (photographs or other documents)?

[HannahBerliner]

Thank you so much for providing these videos. I'm sure you're correct, Alan: the Nazis wanted to show happy Jews with monstrous features. Can you ID anybody in the films? Is there any more information you have about them?

[alanheath]

@HannahBerliner In part of the film there are people from the Judenrat in Będzin who would be identifiable - other than that it would be very difficult. There are very few survivors from either ghetto, especially Dąbrowa Gornicza.

[HannahBerliner]

Note the Nazi focus on large noses and glasses.  Extraordinary footage!

[alanheath]

@HannahBerliner I think this was deliberate - I believe that there was an order from Goebbels, no less, to that effect.

[BlackCountryPuddler]

Music is very apt given the subject

[alanheath]

@BlackCountryPuddler The music was on the original soundtrack that I found.

[Pffs]

Horrible music. I had to watch it muted.
