In The Warsaw Ghetto Summer 1941 (1993) By Willy Georg
 
Taken by a German soldier and never before published, these photographs record a stage in the destruction of a great Jewish community - one that had been at the forefront of European culture and achievement. While the photographs examine a single day in the life of the ghetto, the accompanying passages give voice to the years 1939-1943 through Warsaw Ghetto diaries, extracts from the Polish Underground Press, and Himmler's final liquidation decree. Rafael F. Scharf, who compiled the text, writes: "The people caught in these photographs, busy, feverish, emaciated, oppressed, but still living a life of sorts, are unaware of the unthinkably cruel end that awaits them shortly. Virtually none will escape a horrible death. One's instinct is to shout a word of warning - run! hide! - but it is too late.".
