A collection of photo-documents from the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and from the other repositories.
Overall, these are secondary photo-documents reflecting Nazi-German atrocities, life in the ghettos and concentration camps and day-to-day life in the German-occupied and controlled territories
This file contains a short article about children not accepted into Poland, as well as a negative of a photograph of children. The brief article is written in English.
A group of German Jewish children from German Jewish families expelled to, but not accepted by, Poland. Jewish relief organizations stepped in to organize a transport of the children to England, but the Germans invaded Poland before the transport.
Three photographs of the interior of a "soap factory" near Danzig. The caption that accompanies the photographs reads, "The inside-view of the "Soap Factory" near Danzig where Soap was made out of Human Bodies."
While there is no evidence that human fat was used for soap on an industrial scale as rumors suggested, there allegedly were some experiments conducted with that concept.
A piece of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda, blaming Jews for the war.
The text on the poster reads, "The blame for the war!"
A black and white photograph of a line of children waiting to wash their hands. The photograph has been taken in an unknown ghetto.
The sign above the sink is written in Polish and says, "Water is exclusively for washing hands!!!"
