The images of the Nazi propaganda film “Das Ghetto”  came out at the end of World War II and used to make up the research material about the Jewish community of the Warsaw ghetto until recently when newly found film rolls changed the perspective and the truth.
The film, far from being an genuine picture of the everyday life of the spring of 1942, is in fact an elaborated staged image, not being clear what was its aim or who was behind it. Still, the film brings up a cruel and paradoxical contrast between the starving homeless picked up from the street and the so called rich people of the ghetto which were filmed and made perform different parts. All this took place only two months before all of them were taken to the Treblinka internment camp.
