Berlin Ghetto tells the story of a group of young people who had lives filled with
intellectual exploration, intense friendships and romances - and dangerous, illegal
political action against the Nazi regime. The roots of anti-fascism in the Communist,
Socialist and Jewish youth movements of pre-Nazi working class Berlin are examined.
The story of Herbert Baum and anti-fascism in the heart of Hitler's Reich is told
through oral and written testimony of survivors, friends and relatives of group members,
Nazi trial records and other primary documents of the period. In May of 1942, Baum
and several others went into the massive anti-Soviet and anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda
exhibition Das Sowjet-Paradies (Soviet Paradise) and set off several small explosive
devices. A comrade of Baum's was interrogated by the Gestapo and under torture gave
them a list of people associated with the Baum group. One by one, those on the list
were arrested, put on trial and executed. Others were sent to concentration or death
camps, whilst a few managed to survive underground. Berlin Ghetto is a testament to
courage and youthful sacrifice, to Jewish (and non-Jewish) anti-fascist resistance
in Nazi Germany
