Warsaw's old ghetto
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the Jewish ghettos established by Nazi Germany in Warsaw, the previous capital of Poland located in the General Government during the German Occupation in World War II. Between 1941 and 1943, starvation, disease and deportations to concentration camps and extermination camps dropped the population of the ghetto from an estimated 450,000 to approximately 71,000. In 1943 the Warsaw Ghetto was the scene of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the first urban mass rebellion against the Nazi occupation of Europe. |

Hello Yvan,
There are so many haunting details in this photo: the boarded up windows, the missing terraces, and of course the faces of the lost souls that stare back at us. I like your symmetrical presentation. This photo really moves me.
