| Original caption: “Mit Gewalt aus Bunkern hervorgeholt (‘Forcibly pulled out of bunkers’). Jews captured during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising are led away from burning buildings down Nowolipie Street by Schutzstaffel SS soldaten. Photo taken looking East, near intersection with Smocza street. On the right townhouse at Nowolipie 63 further the ghetto wall with a gate, behind the wall 1 can see burning house at Nowolipie 61. On the left burning balcony of the townhouse at Nowolipie 66. From left to right: An unidentified Nazi German soldaten has the SS Totenkopf Insignia on his collar; Yehudit Neyer, née Tolub (???? – circa 1943); she is holding the arm of Missus [????] Neyer (???? – circa 1943), her mother-in-law; the child is her daughter [????] Neyer (???? – circa 1943); and her husband Avraham Neyer (???? – ????), a member of Algemayner Yidisher Arbeter-bund in Poyln (“General Jewish Labour Bund in Poland.”) The Bund came to play a leading role in Warsaw as well as in other ghetto uprisings. Few of the Bundist Warsaw ghetto leaders survived. The adult women were also identified at Malka (???? – ????) and Deba Lusky (???? – ????). The family have also been identified as the Lichtensteins – Gela Seksztein Lichtenstein (1907 – April 1943); Missus [????] Lichtenstein (???? – April 1943); daughter Margalit Lichtenstein (November 30, 1940 – April 1943); and husband Israel Lichtenstein (???? – April 1943). Israel and Gela Seksztein Lichtenstein buried milk cans filled with art created during their incarceration in the Warsaw Ghetto; 2 were discovered in 1946 and 1950, and a 3rd is still lost. This photo appears on Page 8 of the Stroop Report, the documentation of the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943, in the copy held at the Instytut Pamięci Narodowej (“Institute of National Remembrance”) in Warsaw. A different view of the family is presented on Page 9 in the copy in the National Archives and Records Administration. SS-Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der Polizei Jürgen Stroop (September 26, 1895 – March 6, 1952) directed the reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto over 4 weeks during the largest act of resistance by Jews during the Holocaust. 3 copies of the Stroop Report were made: 1 for Stroop, 1 for Höheren SS- und Polizeiführer Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger (May 8, 1894 – May 10, 1945) and 1 for Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler (October 7, 1900 – May 23, 1945). | |
