Description
Recounts the horrendous story of one large Polish ghetto through the eyewitness testimonials of a wide range of victims.The selections come from poems, diaries, narratives by children, scholars and others caught in the Lodz trap. These people tell of how the Nazis created a closed community and a virtual slave labor camp of well over 200,000 Jews and of how the community was ground down to almost nothing by the close of the war.
