Colorful Warsaw 1939
:במענה לשאלת רבים
A photographer (or cinematographer) walked around Warsaw and shot movies. As Warsaw was heavily Jewish there are lots of Jews in his films. Some object to being filmed, do they cover their faces. Others have a good time and pose and perform for the camera. Most seem clueless to the fact that invasion of the Nazi armies was but 4 months away......

It's really heartbreaking to consider that statistics say that upwards of 85% of the yidden of all stripes depicted in this clip ended up as ashes in Treblinka or met some other cruel meeseh meshuneh at the hands of the Nazis YM"S
