A man carries away the bodies of dead Jews in the Ghetto of Warsaw in 1943, where people began to die of hunger in the streets. Every morning, about 4-5 a.m., funeral carts collected a dozen or more corpses on the streets. The bodies of the dead Jews were cremated in deep pits. On April 19, 1943 the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants. Seven hundred and fifty fighters fought for nearly a month. But on May 16, 1943, the revolt ended the Germans had slowly crushed the resistance. Of the more than 56,000 Jews captured, about 7,000 were shot, and the remainder were deported to killing centers or concentration camps. (AFP/Getty Images) ( APP2003040255680 )
