A Jewish man on the street in the Warsaw ghetto doffs his hat to Heinrich Joest (the photographer) in accordance with a humiliating order that Jews remove their hats in the presence of German personnel.
Joest's original caption reads: "This old man took his hat off in front of me as I was photographing him. This happened to me several times because the Jews had been ordered to do it."
