A sign in German and Polish posted at entrance 2 to the Warsaw ghetto reads, "Area closed because of epidemic. Only through traffic permitted."
Joest's original caption reads: "No one drew back in fear from the terrifying sign 'Epidemic Quarantine Area' posted at the entrances to the Ghetto. 'Aryan' Poles were allowed to pass through; Jews were not."
