Photograph (slide) of the burning Warsaw Ghetto (III)

It is part of the collection:

A photograph of the burning Warsaw Ghetto: red-framed slide with black text repeated at all edges: "MADE IN GERMANY | TRIX ZEISS | IKON [the last two words framed by a thin, in places rounded line; another line is in the middle of the frame between them] 3560/1". On one side of the frame at the longer edge, the cardboard is damaged - a torn off fragment, about 1 cm wide, the colour of the paper in this place is close to orange. The glass inside the frame is fixed with points.

Against a black background, which fills most of the frame, there are yellowish flames and a slightly darker glow. In the upper left margin of the slide there is a fragment of an inscription saying : "[G]FACOLOR" (a company inscription identifying agfacolor film; first letter is only partially visible), in the upper right corner there is a letter 'A' [letter 'G' is only partially visible]. The writing in the lower margin says: "25" and "25 A".
