The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of its kind in Europe - but the story of its inhabitants has always been told using Nazi footage, until now.
Never-before-seen footage shot by amateur Polish filmmaker Alfons Ziolkowski in 1941 shows what life was like for Jews inside the ghetto - from children smuggling food, to a dying man on the sidewalk, to Nazi guards dishing out beatings.
The 10-minute film is the only known footage of the ghetto that was not recorded by Nazis, and provides an invaluable historical record of the Jewish experience there.
The black-and-white footage of the Jewish quarter is included in a new hour-long film 'Warsaw: A City Divided' by Polish-Canadian director Eric Bednarski.
Mr Bednarski said: 'The film footage many of us have seen from the Warsaw Ghetto was shot in 1942 by a Nazi German propaganda film crew.
'Their work has been used in literally dozens of documentaries about the Holocaust and the Second World War.
'It was shot from the perspective of occupiers and perpetrators, and was used for anti-Semitic propaganda purposes.
The footage that appears in my documentary was shot by a Pole, with a completely different perspective.
'This is the first known non-Nazi, non-propaganda footage from the Warsaw Ghetto.'
