Archival film of the Jewish ghetto in Dąbrowa Górnicza and Będzin part 1 of 2

Film shot in the Jewish ghetto in Dąbrowa Górnicza and Będzin, probably at the beginning of the ghettos.
Dabrowa Górnicza is part of the Katowice conurbation. Jews settled in Dabrowa Gornicza in the middle of the 19th century. There were 4,304 Jews living in Dabrowa Gornicza according to the 1921 census (11% of the total population).
The German army captured Dabrowa Gornicza on 3 September 1939. In the fall of 1940 several hundred young Jewish men were deported to slave labor camps in Germany. Several hundred more were deported in the course of 1941. At the end of that year a ghetto was established. On 5 May 1942, the first deportation took place in which 630 Jews were taken to Auschwitz and exterminated. In the second deportation, conducted on 12 August 1942, another few hundred Jews were sent to their death in Auschwitz. On 26 June 1943, the ghetto in Dabrowa Gornicza was liquidated and all its inmates were transferred to the ghetto in Srodula (a suburb of Sosnowiec), the only ghetto still existing in Upper Silesia. It too was liquidated and all its inhabitants, including the Jews from Dabrowa Gornicza, deported to Auschwitz and killed.
According to the 1921 census, there were 17,298 Jews in Bedzin or 62.1 percent of its total population.[By 1938, the number of Jews had increased to about 22,500.
Situated close to the border, Bedzin was quickly captured by the Wehrmacht. On 7 September, persecution of the Jews began, with the instituting of economic sanctions. On 8 September, the Będzin synagogue was burned, and the first massacre of local Jews took place.
The ghetto was founded in May 1942 but deportations had started as early as October 1940. Despite cooperation with the occupiers as is shown in this film, several large deportations took place in 1942. The last major deportations took place in 1943: 5,000 were deported on 22 June 1943 and 8,000 around 13 August 1943. About 1,000 remaining Jews were deported in the subsequent months. A rising took place in August 1943 which was put down and the ghetto was eliminated.
This film is held in the Polish film archive in ul. Chelmska, Warsaw.

I have seen quite a lot of footage from WWII & the Jewish ghettos. I have never seen this. Seeing the faces makes you wonder about the fate of each person. Seeing the beautiful beards of the elderly men, & the shy smiles of the youth...it pains me that they likely met their end at the hands of the Nazi's. We must honor them, and above all, never forget.

Statistically speaking, in Poland, only 10% made it.

Gives me chills...so sad

[@patriciahayes767]

Why do we smile when we see a camera, even in terrible times? So many smiles, is it disturbing because we know the end of the story? Did they know, suspect?

[@Crystal-cs3gm]

Who recorded this video?

[@HannahBerliner]

Thank you so much for providing these videos. I'm sure you're correct, Alan: the Nazis wanted to show happy Jews with monstrous features. Can you ID anybody in the films? Is there any more information you have about them?

[@HannahBerliner]

Note the Nazi focus on large noses and glasses. Extraordinary footage!

מתרגם את דבריו של אלן הית,
היו לא רק אנשים מבדזין, אלא עוד 10,000 פליטים מגורשים. לפי זה אוכלוסיית הגטו הייתה סביב ה-30,000.
תוכל לתת לכך מקור? אני כותב על כך בויקיפדיה העברית והאנגלית. תודה.

[@HannahBerliner]

No, I don't have any photos or documents. I wish I did.

I wonder is the well dressed believed they were better than the not so fortunate.
