The conditions of the ghettos during the holocaust are probably the worst conditions a person can experience. Water and food are almost scarce. Bathing is almost non-existence, and bathroom areas are filled to capacity with waste. Gutters and ditches are filled with human waste and bodies, and houses and bunks are filled to capacity.
Lining the floors is odorous human waste. The bunks inside the huts are filled to capacity, and some are more. No one could lie straight down and some living shared bunks with the dead. Some people on top bunks couldn't move, or were to weak to move, so they let their waste fall into the bunks below them. Hundreds of people to one thousand people were usually in one hut. Hut's were made for 100 people. Disease thrived in every corner. Lice and other diseases caused most of the deaths.
Medical rations were in high supply, but a limited amount could only be given. There was no lice medicine, so lice thrived around almost all Jews.
Food rations were very meager. Watery stew was the basic diet of many Jewish Ghetto Prisoners. Food distribution was a terrible system. Food distributors would hand out food, but there was no promise that everybody would get their share. The weak people who could not get their own share would not get any food.
The conditions of Jewish Ghettos were some of the main causes of deaths among Jews. The Holocaust is a sad reminder of all the brutal things that a human mind can think of. I hope this brings some insight on what humans should and should not do.
