“Bodies of men, women and children lay in great disarray” (Life in the Ghettos 4-5). Others lay mortally wounded, screaming for help, groaning in pain, with head wounds or limbs torn from their bodies. Ghettos began in 1939. During the Holocaust, a ghetto was a special section of a city in which Jews were forced to live. Jews in the ghettos were identified by the yellow badges they wore. In the ghetto, people's lives oscillated in a desperate struggle between survival and death from disease or starvation. Several families lived in the same apartment and the Germans tried to starve them to death. Life in the ghettos was unbearable. The Germans tried to starve the Jews by allowing them to buy very small quantities of food such as fat, potatoes and bread (Life in the Ghettos). They controlled the entire food business. The Germans closed the ghettos so that not even an extra gram of food could get through. A wall was erected on each side. They were very strict about the food consumption of Jews living in the ghettos. People had to live on 180 grams of bread per day, 220 grams of sugar per month, 1/2 kg. of honey, 1 kg. jam, etc. (Warsaw Ghetto). This did not even cover ten percent of normal needs. This led ghetto residents to smuggling. Even though smuggling leads to deaths, families have done it at all costs to survive. Children aged five to six often tried to make themselves useful by trafficking for their families. It was easier for them because they were small enough to pass through the barbed wire and small dug tunnels (Warsaw Ghetto). Living daily on a 253 calorie diet made them very weak and sick. Not only were they in the middle of paper... but they also left their home. A special children's play area was also built. In conclusion, life in the ghettos was unbearable. People were still dying because they were forced to starve and live in very poor living conditions. Most prisoners lost about a third of their body weight. The Jews in the ghettos suffered greatly. They were forced to work every day and worked up to twelve hours a day. Even though they were weakened by their daily lives, they entertained themselves with whatever they could find. Study, music and theater served as an escape. Those who tried to hide in the hiding places they had prepared for their loved ones in the cellars were quickly discovered by specially trained dogs. In 1944, when the Germans began to lose the war, the remaining Jews were transported to concentration camps or killed for assassination...
