Children during a Purim celebration in Wieliczka, Poland, 1942. Their gaunt faces and the haunted look in their eyes reflect the reality they were living in. Many men fled the town with the approach of the Germans in 1939. More men were murdered when the Germans arrived. Wieliczka became the only town with an all female Judenrat. Women also performed the forced labor until the men returned. During a large Aktion on 26/8/42 many Jews were murdered, the majority were sent to the Belzec death camp.
