"Consolidation of the last Jews in Dresden in the Hellerberg camp" - Inserted with commentated film shots from November 23 and 24, 1942, the documentary shows the expulsion of Jews from Dresden from the "Jew houses" in Sporer Alley 2 and Güntz Street 24 under the supervision of gestapo officers, the delousing and medical examinations in the "State Decontamination Institution" in Fabrik Street 5, and the establishment of the Hellerberg camp in North Dresden. The Hellerberg Jew Camp is a project of forced labour for the Goehle works of the Zeiss-Ikon Corporation, a project which goes back to an initiative by local authorities and sections of the NSDAP such as the Gestapo and the Zeiss-Ikon Corporation. Not until the camp's closure was in progress in February 1943 did it serve the Gestapo as a collection camp for the immediately approaching deportation to Auschwitz.
