He was one of Himmler's favorites.
:19:07
Himmler knew he'd carry through.
:19:10
He was a butcher brought in
to destroy the remnants of the ghetto.
:19:14
We didn't think. . .
:19:18
. . .that we were going to fight
the German army.
:19:23
From a military point of view. . .
:19:26
. . .our uprising was zero.
Maybe less than that.
:19:31
He wrote about it as if it was
this great military activity.
:19:35
When it really was this destruction
of a town. . .
:19:39
. . .with all the weaponry he had
at his disposal.
:19:43
The most telling image
is this little boy with his hands up.
:19:47
I look at that image today. . .
:19:49
. . .and it just makes you shudder.
It's so frightening.
:19:53
He accelerated everything
until he blew up everything. . .
:19:58
. . .then burned it, then gassed it.
:20:01
And tried to prevent any life
from escaping this ghetto.
:20:05
I saw the flames of the ghetto. . .
:20:08
. . .and I saw also certain pictures
which were seared in my mind.
:20:13
Some Jews running
from one place to another.
:20:18
Some Jews jumping from buildings.
:20:21
The Germans
couldn't take over the streets.
:20:24
They start putting block after block
on fire.
:20:29
It was also the Polish holiday.
It was Easter.
:20:33
And children were riding
around and around. . .
:20:39
. . .and music was playing.
:20:41
Not far from them
the ghetto was burning. . .
:20:45
. . .and you heard the shooting
and you saw the smoke.
:20:49
And people outside were staring. . .
:20:52
. . .some admiring,
some saying, ''Take a look.
:20:56
Jews are frying now in the ghetto. ''
