Ghetto wall

Winter 1940 An entrance to the Sokolow Ghetto by town’s main street. This picture tells its own story. In the summer of 1941, the ghetto was closed, and a wall was erected around it, with barbed wire on top. The Ghetto was guarded and sealed from the outside by Polish Gendarmerie. We can see two of these gendarmerie guarding the entrance. Their fur coats suggests winter, but before the ghetto was closed off. The ghetto was liquidated in the autumn 1942.
2009. This place can be easily recognized today.
