Warsaw: A City Divided (2019)

Post by bunniefuu »

(the sound of a moving streetcar)

(peaceful music)

There's nothing here to remind me

of my birthplace.

There was once a beautiful square.

Muranowski Square.

I remember trees, and benches.

I was born in Warsaw,

into a traditional Jewish family.

I went to a pre-school

for Jewish children,

where they taught Polish.

At home we spoke Yiddish,

but I had no problem with Polish,

as we spoke that too.

My parents and grandparents

lived in Warsaw.

We lived at 91 Zelazna Street.

By the gate was a tiny shop,

owned by a Jew, our neighbor.

He used to impress us kids

by pretending to stitch

his fingers together with a needle.

We'd be horrified.

He had a daughter Lonia,

who was a friend of my sister,

and we lived

just like normal neighbors.

My mother was from Warsaw.

Her family had lived there

for hundreds of years.

Nowolipie - that was my street.

I often see it more clearly

than the Warsaw around me today.

It's still the same in my mind.

In the morning,

warm pretzels would be delivered -

they were called bagels.

You won't find bagels like those

today.

You could take one and untwist it.

My parents lived

at 49 Marszalkowska St.

It was a so-called

good neighborhood.

My nanny would take me

to the Church of the Holiest Savior.

I remember we had to recite prayers.

Some children would say

they didn't know the prayers.

And I would say I did,

because my nanny taught me.

It was in the Jordan Garden

on Bagatela St.

That the w*r began for me.

I was sitting in a sand box,

and my mum came over.

There was a w*r on, she said,

and what were we going to do now?

(minimal music)

Its the special quality

of the n*zi system.

People who had the energy to

develop something,

had the power to do it.

(minimal music)

When Mr. Dengel took over in Warsaw,

in early December 39

he had the idea

to invite Hubert Gross

to come to Warsaw and build

a German "Construction Department".

Hubert Gross was the architect who was

at that time head of the town

planning office in Wurtzburg.

Gross joined the party in May 33

knowing that something great

is coming up.

In contrast, my father, who became

the chief architect of Hamburg,

joined the party like in fact most

architects in Germany on 1st May, 1937.

I started to call myself a

private detective

and I was searching for

the German architects

who worked in Poland during the w*r.

Gross upon the advice of

Mr. Dengel developed a dream

of reducing Warsaw to next to nothing.

(minimal music)

On the screen is a visualization

from one of my projects.

It's based on fascist plans

for the construction

of a new German city,

die Neue Deutsche Stadt Warschau.

This is a virtual re-construction

of that new Warsaw.

This is the city centre.

It's a relatively small city.

Entrances were to be guarded

by watchtowers on all sides.

These are the main buildings.

On the Praga side,

there was to be a district for Poles,

who were to be slowly exterminated.

The New German City of Warsaw

was to be inhabited only by Germans.

There was to be no Jewish population.

With regard to Warsaw,

the Fhrer has decided

that the reconstruction of that

city as a major Polish metropolis

is absolutely out of the question.

The Fhrer's wish is that in accordance

with plans for the development of the

General Government territory itself, Warsaw

be reduced to the level of a provincial city.

From the diary of Governor

General Hans Frank.

(minimal music)

Once the Germans arrived,

the terror began almost right away.

The official announcements

and notices...

Everyone had to hand over

all their valuables.

Jewelry,

radios, cameras, furs.

Anything of worth

had to be turned in.

Jews were identified and

forced to wear arm-bands

with the star of David.

It was very unpleasant.

In my mind,

this was a form of degradation.

At any moment I could be humiliated.

In the spring of 1940,

consultations were begun

with a view to creating one or more Jewish

housing districts within the city of Warsaw.

In the end, however, it was decided that

a single district should be established

in the area where Jews

were traditionally in the majority.

Dr Friedrich Gollert,

SS-Untersturmfhrer,

Head, Division of Regional Planning,

Office of the Governor

of the District of Warsaw.

(calm music)

Where was the Jewish

neighborhood in Warsaw?

There were Jewish neighborhoods,

Nalewki, Nowolipki

where it was almost all Jewish,

but when youre a third of the city,

youre all over the city.

And the interaction with non-Jews

was a normal daily event.

That comes to a crashing halt

with the building of the

Warsaw Ghetto wall,

which goes through the heart

of the city and divides

Jews from non-Jews as they

were never divided before.

The wall didn't suddenly appear.

Bits and pieces

started going up in April 1940.

These were sections of wall,

or barriers with barbed wire.

They popped up in various places.

They interfered

with people's mobility,

but it was still possible

to get around them.

(calm music)

The Schmidt & Mnstermann Company

Concerning:

The Jewish Housing District

1 linear meter of border wall

is equal to 1.3 cubic meters

of wall.

Daily requirement for 100 masons:

12 cubic meters of white lime,

1,500 kg cement,

37,000 bricks.

I had no idea I was Jewish.

So first I was asking:

Why do we have to move?

And later: What does it mean

that I'm Jewish,

and why do we have to leave

our home?

(dramatic music)

When we arrived in the Ghetto,

the first thing I saw

was a horrible poster.

I didn't want to be

like that Jew on the poster.

I was distraught at being forced

to live there.

I thought that every Jew

had to look like that,

and I was so terribly humiliated

by all this

that I said to my mum

I didn't want to be a Jew anymore,

and I wanted to go back

to Marszalkowska St.,

and why was all this

happening anyway?

Notice. By order of the District

Governor and effective immediately.

A self-contained Jewish quarter is

to be created in the District of Warsaw

with a view to preventing

the spread of disease.

In the city of Warsaw a boundary running

around the Jewish quarter has been established

and all border streets are to be

simultaneously closed off from it,

on both sides, as follows:

From Zielna to Krolewska and Zlota.

From Zlota to Zielna and Zelazna.

From Twarda to Zelazna and Srebrna.

From Srebrna to Twarda and Miedziana.

From Miedziana to Srebrna and Kazimierz

Square. From Kazimierz Square North...

(minimal music)

Poles could enter the Ghetto,

representatives of companies

could enter,

and so could city workers.

Basically, it was

for official matters.

We already lived

in the area that was now the Ghetto,

as Muranowski Square

fell within the Big Ghetto.

However, Jews who lived

outside the Ghetto

had to move in,

and Poles who lived in the Ghetto

had to move out.

This led to very painful situations

for people.

They left their homes,

their furniture and possessions,

carrying only a few small bundles.

The Ghetto became very crowded.

We see images of the expulsion

of the Jewish community.

Something similar happened

the other way around too.

There were tens of thousands

of people like us.

I remember sitting on a cart,

full of our things.

We were thrown out of Zelazna,

because the Ghetto was created there.

We were moved to Brzeska Street,

number 5, apartment 110.

It was a ruin.

Measures involved the resettlement

of around 700 Ethnic Germans,

113,000 Poles and 138,000 Jews.

The Warsaw Jewish housing district

is an enclosed area,

cut off from its surroundings

by walls, fences, and so on.

Movement of persons and goods in and out

of the area is by special permit only.

Dr Friedrich Gollert,

SS-Untersturmfhrer,

Head, Division of Regional Planning,

Office of the Governor

of the District of Warsaw.

For people like me,

being outside the Ghetto wall

didn't mean life was easy.

We were given a single room

to live in.

There were five of us.

(minimal music)

The Jewish population

always looked

for contacts outside the Ghetto wall

to get food.

At first, Lonia came to us

on Brzeska St.,

though we weren't well off

at the time.

We were three siblings,

my mum, my dad.

Dad did smuggling,

because there was no other way then.

But my mum put aside potatoes

and peelings for her.

I'm not sure what else she got,

but we somehow shared.

Later, Lonia stopped coming.

Of course, we didn't know why.

Father kept rolls of banknotes.

I don't know if they were

larger denominations then,

but the rolls

grew smaller and smaller,

until there was no money left.

After that my sister

simply disappeared.

I don't know how. She and my father

just ceased to exist.

I don't remember any farewell

or any of the circumstances.

Maybe my memory rejected it

because it was too terrible.

(the noise of moving cars)

The city center was cut off,

and ceased to function normally.

When you see which part of the city

made up the Ghetto,

you realize it was

the heart of Warsaw.

If you take into account

that the Germans

also carved off

a piece for themselves,

what was left of Warsaw

for Varsovians

was just a part.

There was the German residential

district in the south of Warsaw,

and this also had a demarcation.

And its very clear that nobody

else was supposed to live there.

The German housing district

has been created

for the protection of the German

population at their request.

The Police cannot guarantee Germans

living outside of this district

the same degree of personal safety as

is provided to those living within it.

Hans Pfliegner,

n*zi Party Stabsamtsleiter, Warsaw

Soldiers must not be seen on the street or

in any public place in the company of Poles

men or women nor should

they enter restaurants with them.

Beware when making acquaintances.

You can never be sure

who it is you are dealing with.

No Pole, and certainly no Jew,

can have honest intentions

towards a German.

From instructions

to Soldiers of the Wehrmacht

temporarily stationed in Warsaw.

(minimal music)

Night and day,

by rail, in carts and buses.

Jews arrive here

from Polish towns and villages.

The individual vanishes

in this enormous human mass.

People are crammed in,

individual faces are unrecognizable.

(minimal music)

(the sound of a moving streetcar)

The German army and civilians

must in any event

be protected from the Jews,

immune carriers of disease bacteria.

The separation of Jews from the

rest of the population,

Polish as well as Ethnic Germans,

is a moral and political imperative.

Traffic in the center of Warsaw

has only been minimally affected by the

creation of the Jewish housing district.

Above all in the interests of

the Wehrmacht and the economy,

great care was taken to ensure that certain

main thoroughfares would remain crossable

without obstruction to through traffic.

Waldemar Schn, SS-Standartenfuhrer,

Director, Department of Resettlement,

Office of the Governor

of the District of Warsaw

(minimal music)

The German planners divide,

and then administer their division.

They even designate which streets

a tram is to travel along,

to shorten its route through

the Ghetto, creating two ghettos.

It would all be

a terrifying mishmash of evil.

(knocking noises)

Some Ghetto borders

changed literally every week.

This was the subject of haggling

between the city administration

and the Ghetto management.

Whether a building would stay

in the Ghetto or not,

especially buildings

on the periphery.

Chlodna Street ended up

dividing the Jewish District.

The District was cut into two parts

by the critically important tram line

that ran along Chlodna.

The ghetto was divided into two parts,

a small ghetto and a large one.

In order for Jews to move back and

forth between the small and large ghetto

it was necessary to stop

the flow of traffic at intervals.

Since this was inconvenient

for the Germans.

Jews were given permission to cross

over as infrequently as possible.

(minimal music)

As I walked along Zelazna,

I would see from a distance

the crowd milling

at the corner of Chlodna.

People would be shifting restlessly

on the spot waiting for the German police

to decide when the traffic on Chlodna

was light enough,

and the crowd on Zelazna thick enough to

warrant letting the Jews across the street.

(minimal music)

When the moment finally came,

the police cordon would part

and the impatient crowd would surge

forward in both directions,

pushing each other over in the panic to distance

themselves from the dangerous German presence,

and melt once more into the depths

of the two ghettos.

(minimal music)

(the sound of moving cars)

A line in the pavement

shows where the Ghetto border ran.

How the Ghetto fit into Warsaw.

Not as an isolated island,

surrounded by the unknown,

but in the context of the city.

On each plaque

there is a nail showing where we are.

A part of downtown Warsaw

was torn away,

so this part is raised.

Our intention -

Tomasz Lec's and mine -

was to show the Ghetto in real space,

how it was,

and where the boundary ran.

(the sound of a bicycle riding)

I think very important was when the City

of Warsaw put down kind of the boundaries,

in the sidewalk, you see Im in the Ghetto,

Im out of the Ghetto, with a little plaque.

Very important. Its there,

its not a tall monument,

but its there when you want

to see it, youre reminded.

The streets of the ghetto -

and they alone - ended in walls.

Sometimes, I would be heading

unsuspectingly in a particular direction,

when suddenly, without warning, I

would come up against one of these walls.

My way would be blocked, yet

everything in me wanted to keep on going,

and there was no logical reason

why I should not be able to do so.

In that instant, the street

on the other side of the wall

would become irresistible, necessary

the most precious place on earth.

There was nothing

I wouldn't have given

to be part of what was

going on there.

But it was no use.

Time and again, I would give up

in defeat and retrace my steps

with the same feeling of despair.

(street noises)

(minimal music)

A Jew who didn't have a lot of money,

or didn't have a Pole

who was his friend

didn't stand a chance.

There was nothing he could do.

He cared only

about what he would eat the next day,

and what he would give his children.

I was one of those

who didn't have anything.

Smuggling started immediately.

Otherwise you couldn't stay alive.

80 percent of food in the ghetto

came from smuggling,

not from the official suppliers

authorized by the Germans.

If someone had money,

they'd get things in somehow.

I once witnessed a tram

passing through Muranowski Square,

and as it turned,

items were thrown out.

It couldn't stop in the Ghetto.

Trade carried on this way.

(dramatic music)

Smuggling was an important instance

of cooperation

between people in the Ghetto,

and people outside.

(dramatic music)

The Mirowski Halls

were central to trade.

In occupied Warsaw

there were products there, and food.

The Jewish population

was always looking

for a chance to obtain food.

And Hala Mirowska

was one of the parts of the city

immediately adjacent to the Ghetto.

I remember the Ghetto wall ran there,

diagonally across from the Halls.

(minimal music)

In some places the ghetto walls did

not come right down to the pavement.

At regular intervals there were

openings at ground level,

through which water flowed into

drains running alongside the sidewalks.

These openings were also used by

children, for smuggling.

Tiny dark creatures

with legs like match-sticks would

converge on these openings from all sides.

Terrified eyes darted

from left to right,

and frail paws

dragged through bundles

that were often bigger than the tiny

smugglers themselves.

(dramatic music)

Notice.

Any Jew unlawfully leaving

the designated housing district

is to be punished by death.

The same punishment

will apply to persons

who consciously protect such Jews

or in any way assist them.

Warsaw, 10th of November 1941,

Dr Fischer, Governor

(minimal music)

Sienna is a very important street

for me.

This is a street I was scared of

and I still am to this day.

I've never walked this street

without feeling afraid.

Behind this wall,

I spent more than two years

in the Ghetto with my family.

When I first found myself back here,

I began looking obsessively

for the hole

through which my mum and I

had escaped.

I just stood here

going back in time,

trying to figure out

where that hole could be.

But the hole was probably

somewhere else, further on.

My mum did something

that no normal person would do.

After we escaped from the Ghetto,

she went with me to the Main Station.

She got into the compartment

with German officers.

Because she spoke good German,

she asked if she could sit there

with her daughter.

They let us in.

I wonder if I could've done

what my mum did. That was heroic.

I see two years

of humiliation, imprisonment, hunger

and fear behind me.

As I said,

I'm scared of Sienna Street.

I still expect to either see

or remember something terrible there.

(minimal music)

All around I could see hand carts,

and on them bodies of men,

women and children,

piled carelessly

one on top of the other.

I became aware of a strange,

vaguely sweet and sickening odour

I'd never smelled before.

A Jewish Policeman explained:

"Next to the Jewish cemetery

there was once a large field.

Today it's one

of the biggest mass graves ever,

filled with the bodies of Jews

from all corners of Europe".

Could this be real?

How was it possible that a human being

of flesh and blood could be allowed to die

in such a pitiful fashion?

(dramatic music)

The German occupation m*rder*d

90% of the Jews here.

Its heartbreaking.

And then if you could imagine,

that not only does the wall go through

the heart of the city,

right in the middle of a

street it stops,

but on the other side of that wall,

starvation, disease,

and very soon after

deportation to death.

(minimal music)

Treblinka Station

On the Tluszcz-Warszawa line,

from the station "Warschau-Ost",

the tracks stretch out before you,

and the train it never swerves.

Sometimes the journey lasts

five and three-quarter hours,

but it can also take a lifetime

and last until you die...

And the station is a small one

with three fir-trees in a row,

and the sign is not at all unusual:

it says "Treblinka Station",

nothing more.

It doesn't have a ticket counter,

and there's no porter to be found,

and not even for a million Zlotys

could you purchase a return.

No one is waiting on the platform

and no one waves a scarf.

There's only

the heavy sound of silence

and mute desolation to welcome you.

And the signal post is silent,

and the row of fir-trees too,

and black lettering

informs in silence that

Treblinka Station is where you are.

Resettlement is taking time.

At any moment it could pick up speed.

The process is not yet complete.

These notes are being written

out of an instinctive desire

to leave behind a trace.

Out of a despair that

reaches screaming pitch.

And to justify still being alive

despite the deadly uncertainty.

There's a noose around our necks.

When the knot slackens,

screams escape our throats.

Cries like ours have rung out

in vain all through history,

with only a distant echo heard.

(sad music)

(the sounds of a moving tram)

For security reasons,

I order that the ghetto of Warsaw

be demolished.

All utilizable building parts

and other materials of any value,

are to first be salvaged.

An overal plan for the razing of the ghetto

is to be submitted to me.

We must in any event ensure

that the living-space

occupied up until now

by 500,000 sub-humans

and in no way fit for habitation

by Germans,

disappears completely.

And that Warsaw,

this city of one million,

always a center

of corruption and revolt,

is reduced in size.

Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfhrer-SS

(minimal music)

In the Ghetto,

at the same time

as an organized resistance group

was preparing to fight,

Jews were going into hiding.

I descended into that bunker

in January '43,

and in April the Uprising broke out.

My brothers left

to take part in the Uprising.

This bunker was built

around a basement

that had been dug deeper,

with boarded up sides.

The dug out earth

was piled up all around,

and it provided

some kind of insulation.

When the fires started, everything

in the neighbouring basements

collapsed and b*rned.

But this bunker survived.

I took part in the Uprising,

and I was wounded.

I remember 1943,

at the end of Nowogrodzka St.

I remember seeing

uncanny clouds of smoke

rising from the north.

Fighting in the Ghetto,

something happening there.

I remember that picture.

(dramatic music)

The Jewish Quarter of Warsaw

is no more.

Jrgen Stroop, SS-Gruppenfhrer

It still pains me

that after all these years

I never got to mourn my family.

I never even had time for that.

I left everyone. I had six brothers

and one sister, parents.

I'm the only one

who came out of all that.

I was left as a witness.

If I'd...

There would be nobody left.

The value of life is that you can

bear witness to something.

The Goose Street Camp

was set up to hold people

needed to dismantle the Ghetto.

The Ghetto wasn't blown up

with dynamite, but disassembled.

It was total plunder.

And this camp was hell.

People d*ed there.

On the ruins of the Ghetto,

the Germans planned to create

a park for Germans.

Hence the demolition.

The terrain was to be covered over

with earth for a paradise garden.

The intention was to destroy the capital

of what was formerly Poland.

That was the main intention to destroy

the idea alone of a capital,

because there was no more Poland.

I was almost a year

on the Aryan side.

There was a whole network of help.

If things got dangerous,

someone would come by to lead you on.

My sister-in-law and I were

taken away to another place.

They split us up.

The son of the caretaker

of the building where my brother was,

led the Gestapo to him. They took

my brother, and a young boy -

little Zygmunt -

who had been helping him.

And they took away the caretaker,

who was looking after my brother.

He was the father of the young

hooligan who betrayed them all.

And at Gestapo HQ my brother,

little Zygmunt, and the father -

Mr. Grochowski - were all k*lled.

(dramatic music)

On the 1st of August 1944,

the Uprising broke out.

I twice lived

through the burning of Warsaw.

In 1944,

a German architect documented the

blowing up of buildings

one after the other.

Its very difficult to believe

that a person who calls himself

an architect,

and he writes his designation and

his name on these cards,

his job is to document that the

bombing squads did their job.

It has to be proved,

that this road and that road,

and the next road,

one building after the other,

gone.

All around,

the walls were almost red hot,

and people were being herded along.

From both sides

of the burning streets

burning debris was coming down.

Warsaw was on fire,

and you could feel it.

(dramatic music)

Very early Spring, 1945.

On this side of the wall,

burnt out buildings,

sometimes only half standing.

It was a landscape of ruins.

But when you entered the area

where the Ghetto had been,

you'd discover

it was more like a desert.

I remember running

over those hills of rubble.

Through those ruins was a pathway

and a post with a sign:

Nowolipie Street.

I counted my steps,

hoping to find the remains

of my building.

And I found it.

It had had a gate decorated

with yellow tiles.

Suddenly, amongst the rubble,

I saw yellow tiles.

I took one tile for myself.

But much later, my wife was packing,

and she saw this little piece of wall

and threw it out.

I don't have it anymore.

When Hubert Gross returned

to his home town

in April 45.

He came across the hills,

saw his home city burning.

He took off his uniform,

buried it in the woods,

and said, I feel no guilt.

There was in his mind no

admission of any guilt.

Among those architects whom I met,

nobody ever mentioned anything

or answered the question

why were they there?

Whose intention did they fulfill?

No answer.

(minimal music)

I didn't feel any personal connection

to the Ghetto before my mum d*ed.

She had shown me this picture,

saying that

someone from her family was in it.

Soon after, a book

about the same picture came out.

What my mum had told me

made me feel I should look into it.

From that book I learned

that the woman who is visible here,

behind this boy with raised hands,

is my mum's older sister.

I said to myself - this is my aunt.

That's when my personal connection

to this began.

I hope I won't get lost.

(laugh)

I only found

my grandfather's grave recently.

Young people had been here,

cleaning and refurbishing.

Some tombstones were propped up,

and that's how I found it.

It made me very happy,

as this is the only proper place

I can come to and light a candle.

It was standing all by itself.

All around it the stones

were knocked down.

There it is.

This is my grandmother's grave,

my father's mother.

She d*ed the year I was born.

So my mother

was three months pregnant with me

when the funeral happened here.

(sad music)

It's here.

I didn't bring a candle.

This is my grandfather's grave.

From this tombstone I learned

that he was

of the Levite lineage.

That's what this image means.

Abraham Jehuda, son of Asher.

So my great-grandfather's name

was Asher.

It was an amazing,

almost mystical feeling.

As if my roots were here.

Even now as I'm standing,

there's the feeling of continuity

and oneness with my grandmother.

(minimal music)

Why was the cemetery not destroyed?

I think the simple answer is that

the Germans ran out of time.

Their first focus was k*lling the living,

not murdering again the dead.

But simply they ran out of time.

Of the dozens of major

synagogue buildings

only one still stands today

and that is the Nozyk synagogue.

Why this one synagogue survived

then were already almost

getting into mystical answers.

The practical answer is that it

was already outside of the Ghetto

by the time the Uprising

began in April of 43,

and was being used by Germans as

a warehouse and a stable for horses.

(minimal music)

But not all the Jews were k*lled,

and today we have a small,

but trying to be creative,

trying to be vibrant

real Jewish community in Warsaw.

After liberation in 1945

you couldnt live in Warsaw really.

And slowly trying to rebuild

and then getting again undermined

by Soviet occupation and oppression.

(sad music)

It's difficult to imagine

what was here before the w*r.

This area has changed so much.

Certain streets and squares

ceased to exist,

names were changed,

directions were altered.

No more than a dozen or so

original buildings survived.

(the sound of a working excavator)

This space has many dimensions

and many layers.

What we see underneath

is the second layer,

which makes itself felt,

when workers dig down to place pipes,

revealing the remains of old life.

This is probably

the most unusual place in Warsaw.

It was the location of the Ghetto.

In 1949, the architect Bohdan Lachert

created a housing estate,

which was to be a memorial space.

New life was supposed to blossom

within its walls.

What was unique was that buildings

were made of rubble-concrete bricks,

along with everything else

that was in the rubble too,

including human remains.

Buildings stand

on a rubble-concrete base

and rise

from these strange little hills.

In Warsaw, a flat city,

this immediately attracts attention.

(sad music)

People calling me and saying

there are spirits in my apartment.

Im in the old Ghetto.

Can you do something?

Well I have to say

that is beyond my competence,

but I did go and I said psalms.

Because if a person feels

I can make them,

if I can make someone feel more

at peace, Im happy to do so.

This line shows where

Muranowska St. would have run.

Here, on the corner, is the building

where you would have lived.

Number 10. And then 12, 14, 16.

Yes, and here was the gate

you would walk through

and here were shops.

Here was Mr. Gujski's restaurant.

He was a Pole,

and he had a son Jas,

whom we'd play with in the courtyard.

On this map of the city,

I've marked the location

of your home, superimposing it

on the current image.

- Out in the street, apparently.

- At the intersection.

That's the place where your home

once stood.

I was born here.

The memory of the Ghetto,

its beginning to really return

into the memory,

into the soul, of Warsaw.

(minimal music)

Give people a chance to remember

and chances are they will remember.

April 19th, the anniversary of

the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

While were moving farther away

from the event

actually the number of people

coming is growing.

Thats a sign of hope.
