Life becomes difficult
Life in the ghetto became increasingly difficult. To begin with it was possible for the population to maintain a sense of normality. There were bars and theatres and concerts. As soon as resources became more scarce, life in the ghettos became a fight for survival.

Thousands of people started to die as conditions deteriorated. Food was in desperately short supply and children often took on the role of smuggling food from outside the ghetto to help their families to live.
