Vitka Kempner - Smuggling weapons out of the ghetto
Transcript: The question was, how to get out the Jews, and how to get out the weapons. In the beginning, the difficult question was how to get weapons into the Ghetto, then the question was, how to get weapons out of the ghetto. And the idea was that the only Jewish things that could leave the ghetto were coffins. That the Germans allowed: to bury the dead outside the Ghetto. So we took a little cart and in the coffin, instead of the dead, were weapons. And that is how we got the weapons out to a Jewish cemetery.
