A wagon carrier carrying Jews in the Warsaw ghetto - a rare photograph
A rare photograph of a Jewish wagon driver with an armband, leading a horse-drawn carriage, in which Jews are sitting. On the left can seen the Jewish character of the carriage in the shape of a Star of David.
Photographed, apparently, by the Germans. Carriages of this type crossed Leszno Street, which was the main street in the Warsaw ghetto (see, for example, the well-known documentary film 'The Silence of the Archive'), and only in these carriages were Jews allowed to travel. In the Warsaw ghetto, Jews were forbidden to travel by car, train, or motor vehicle of any kind from the end of January 1940. Such transport lines were operated in the ghetto, mainly by the partners Moritz Kohn and Zelig Heller, who joined the "13" institution of Abraham Gancwajch, retired from it and later engaged in various business with the German permit, including the replacement to trams that stopped operating in the ghetto. During the Great Aktion, in the summer of 1942, these carriages were used to transport the deportees to Umschlagplatz (the main square).
