An armband of a Jewish ghetto police officer in the Warsaw ghetto
'Socialist Emt' An armband of a Jewish ghetto police officer in the Warsaw ghetto with an SD ink stamp - Warsaw. a police officer dealing with social assistance.
The Jewish ghetto police in the Warsaw ghetto was known for its cruelty. Emanuel Ringelblum wrote about the Jewish ghetto police in the Warsaw ghetto: "The brutality of the Jewish police has far exceeded that of the Germans, the Ukrainians and the Latvians." The Warsaw ghetto numbered the largest police units among the other ghettos with 2,500 police officers, compared to, for example, the 1,200 in Lodz ghetto, and the Lvov ghetto which had only 500 police officers. It was one of the ghettos used by the Jewish police to stifle Jewish resistance, unlike, for example, the Kovno ghetto, where storys of Jewish police officers assisting the Jewish underground were published. Only ten percent of Jewish ghetto police in the Warsaw ghetto had close ties with the Jewish community before the Holocaust. Police chiefs were selected for their compliance with the Nazis. The Nazis issued recruitment guidelines: Candidates should be healthy, with at least military education and secondary education. In fact, only some of them were.
Stains and signs of use, good condition.
