Warsaw Ghetto – The Unfinished Film: The Warsaw Ghetto housed 440,000 Polish Jews and Roma during World War II. Typhus, starvation and random murders killed over 100,000 of the ghetto’s residents even before the Nazis began the massive deportations to the Treblinka extermination camp. Yet the Nazis created a mysterious propaganda film that juxtaposed meticulously staged scenes of Jews enjoying a life of luxury in the ghetto with other, chilling images that required no staging at all.

On the other, there is the Nazis’ own power base – the stormtroopers – millions of angry, disenfranchised men who wreak havoc on German streets. The stormtroopers are led by Ernst Röhm, one of Hitler’s oldest and closest friends.
