Looking for a picture of Warsaw Ghetto
« on: 08-02-2012, 21:02:00 »
Can anyone help me out with the following?

I'm looking for pictures from Prozna Street in the Warsaw ghetto, but all I can find are modern day pictures, or pictures from before the war. Anyone know of any pictures of this street in the former Warsaw ghetto from 1940-1943?

I found this one, but I'm not sure if it is Prozna Street or not: http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/pic/bigwarsawghettostreet.jpg

Since I have my own modern day pictures, I would love to show how it looked in wartime and today, as a comparison for my 3rd grade students.

Any links would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have any pictures. I just googled ul. Próżna and Prozna Straße Warschau, but the results are the same. Seems like some buildings survived the war, being displayed today. But no historical pictures. Had the impression that there are even more historical pictures available of the Lodz ghetto than the Warsaw ghetto.

This was already the best I found within 5 minutes:

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

Thanks Adee!

I just saw that Mudra posted this one, which I also think is Prozna Street:

Cool, thanks!

And perfect timning too, as I'm teaching 3rd grade this week on this subject ;)

Even though it is a comparison from a different year (just after Warsaw Uprising, I think), I can still use it :)

Nice pics again! Weird how the ghetto wall survived while the building next to it was destroyed.
