Throughout May and for the first two days in June 1942, German cameramen shot extensive 35mm footage in the Warsaw Ghetto. Filming concluded shortly before the commencement of the so-called "Grossaktion Warschau"  – the deportation of hundreds of thousands of the ghetto’s inhabitants to the death camp at Treblinka, where they were murdered.
 
The close temporal connection of the filming to the coordinated mass-depopulation of the ghetto and killing of its inhabitants has raises questions as to whether the National Socialsts sought to shoot film which they would not have been able to obtain shortly afterwards, and whether their interest in doing so extended to other, later stages of the annihilation of European Jewry.
 
This is the unfinished film...
