The liquidation of a Jewish ghetto
A recreation of a witness testimony to the evacuation of Jews from the Munich Ghetto to an 'unknown death' in the Spring of 1942. The witness gives a graphic account of what she saw. She mentions how the Jews were herded out of the ghetto at a moment's notice, gathered together at a train station for two days and then suddenly loaded into cattle trucks. She appears to have been selected by the Nazis to work in the ghetto. The narrator describes how she worked in the ghetto for two weeks, burned her papers, tore off her yellow Star of David and escaped. She lived out of sight for the next two years until she was helped into Freiberg and then over the border to Switzerland. This testimony was given to a member of the Jewish underground.
