Firm believers in "self-help"--that is, Jews looking after Jews--Ha-Shomer ha-Tsa'ir had its own soup kitchen located in its secret headquarters at 23 Nalewki Street. Pictured here are the founders of the organization. From left to right: Oskar Handler, Zivia Lubetkin, Yudke Helman, and Yitzhak Zuckerman.

The streetcar above is labeled "Only for Jews." Non-Jews were forbidden to travel in streetcars bearing this distinction, and Jews could use only such cars. Jews careless enough to ride on the non-Jewish cars were executed. The Germans hoped that, by segregating the Polish population, non-Jews would not learn about the living conditions in the ghetto.
