The Warsaw Ghetto

Discover the incredible story of a Polish businessman whose relentless pursuit of capturing the truth of the Warsaw Ghetto cost him his own safety.

Through these films, witness the unimaginable cruelty of war and the human spirit’s resilience when pushed to the extreme. This hauntingly human documentary brings to life the desperate conditions of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, and features testimonies from witnesses describing the city’s life before the German invasion and graphic accounts of life in the ghetto.
