This is one of the most famous photos of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. People have tried to identify the little boy with his hands raised over the years without any success. The SS Trooper with his face to the camera (dumb move) was identifed however as SS- Rottenfuehrer Josef Bloesche by Polish investigators and hunted down. He was tried for war crimes in Poland in 1969 and executed in July of that year. All the captured Jews were sent to the camps and all are believed to have perished there.
