Description
The Ghettos of Nazi-occupied Poland: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives By Ian Baxter, published 2020. In the aftermath of the 1940 invasion of Poland, the Nazis established ghettos in cities and towns across the country. These closed sectors were designed to segregate and isolate the Jewish community, but they became holding areas for a far more sinister purpose. This book presents a harrowing account of life in these restricted areas using contemporary images. The conditions within the ghettos deteriorated rapidly, with inhabitants facing the threat of family separation, enslavement, and death. In response, underground resistance groups emerged, promoting numerous uprisings that were brutally suppressed by the Nazis. The ultimate aim of the ghettos was to facilitate the liquidation of their inhabitants in furtherance of The Final Solution. This book provides a graphic and unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those living in these ghettos during World War II.
