Letzte Spuren : Ghetto Warschau, SS-Arbeitslager Trawniki, Aktion Erntefest : Fotos und Dokumente über Opfer des Endlösungswahns im Spiegel der historischen Ereignisse

Pt. I (pp. 9-272) relates the story of the firm Schultz & Co. which employed some 8,000 workers from the Warsaw ghetto in the production of clothing for the Wehrmacht. They and their families were housed on the premises. The owner, Fritz Emil Schultz, and the manager, Rudolf Neumann, both Germans, made great efforts to save them from deportation. Pp. 31-149 reproduce a photo album prepared by the firm showing the Jews at work. In the early spring of 1943 the authorities ordered the firm with its work force to move voluntarily to the Trawniki labor camp. At first the Jews resisted; the transfer was finally carried out at the time of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. All the camp inmates were shot in "Aktion Erntefest" in November 1943. Pt. II (pp. 273-334) gives a general description of the formation of ghettos in Poland, the conflict between the need for workers and the extermination policy, and "Aktion Erntefest" in other camps. 1.
