Warsaw Ghetto boy
The Warsaw Ghetto boy is a boy photographed in 1943 during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In the best-known photograph taken during the uprising, a boy holds his hands over his head while SS-Rottenführer Josef Blösche points a submachine gun in his direction. The boy and others hid in a bunker during the final liquidation of the ghetto, but they were caught and forced out by German troops. After the photograph was taken, all of the Jews in the photograph were marched to the Umschlagplatz and deported to a extermination camp. The exact location and the photographer are not known, and Blösche is the only person in the photograph who can be identified with certainty.
