A group of Jewish civilians being held at gunpoint by German SS troops after being forced out of a bunker where they were sheltering during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in German-occupied Poland, World War II, 19th April - 16th May 1943. The photograph is from an official report from SS and Police Leader Jürgen Stroop to SS commander Heinrich Himmler, entitled 'Es gibt keinen jüdischen Wohnbezirk in Warschau mehr!' ('There is no Jewish Quarter of Warsaw Any more!"). The SS man on the right is SS-Rottenführer Josef Blösche, who was executed for war crimes, in East Germany in 1969.
