Unearthed World War II Pictures Show A Never-Before-Seen Side of History

Warsaw Ghettos

The invasion of Poland saw many deaths of Jewish people. Over 400,000 Jewish Poles were trapped within only a square mile of Warsaw. Sealed off by brick walls, barbed wire, and a small army of guards, Warsaw became a ghetto by 1940. Eastern Europe soon became littered with other ghettos like this. Though some attempted revolt, they were mostly helpless to the forces.
