Lvov Ghetto

Courtyard of prison on Łącki Street (now Iryny Kalynets Street). In the background, buildings #4 and #6 on Łącki Street are seen. The photo is mirrored. It was likely taken in early July 1941, when Germans who occupied the city on June 30 brought Jews to the prison courtyard to see the exhumation of NKVD victims, left behind by the retreating Soviet Army. This is NOT Lwow Ghetto, set up in late 1941 by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland, with 106,000 residents. By May 1942, only 84,000 Jewish inmates remained. Please do not title this photo as Lwow Ghetto because it is not.
