Jew being abused by Nazis in Kozienice, Poland

Pictured here is an orthodox Jew being abused by Nazis in Kozienice, Poland apparently in September 1939.  The city was captured by the Germans on September 9, 1939.  A Judenrat was soon established and a regime of forced labor instituted. The Jewish population was 4,208 in January 1940. In August 1942, refugees doubled the ghetto population and on September 2, 1942, 8,000 Jews were deported to the Treblinka death camp.
