Five photographs of Jews with armbands in the Warsaw ghetto
Five photographs of elderly Jews in armbands in the Warsaw ghetto - The early 1940s.
The photographs were apparently taken by the photographers of the Nazi propaganda company PK689, and were intended to show the world the Jew in his ugliness and depravity. The Jews were forced to stand upright and look directly at the camera, when the photographer's goal was to 'capture' them in the ugliest and most repulsive way. The Nazis used such photographs in the production of the antisemitic film "The Eternal Jew", as well as the antisemitic propaganda film "The Jew in the Ciechanow District", for which Jews were asked to stand in front of the camera in a certain way, and more.
See: David Welch, Propaganda and the German Cinema 1933-1945, London 2006.
Same size: 9x7 cm. One of the photos is signed on the back with an ink stamp of "Photo Glock Karlasruhe". general condition very good.
