After reading and analyzing a few chapters of “The Cage” by Ruth Minsky Sender, I have a very good understanding of how they ghetto is portrayed in this book. The lifestyle of many people in the ghetto is extremely disheartening, having barbed wire gates locked tight and being very secluded from the outside world, left many feeling lost and hopeless. Families are unable to provide for their children since the factories got taken away and jobs were lost. The living conditions inside the ghetto were so appalling many were forced to burn furniture and take apart interior walls to heat their homes, often you would find more than one family sharing a small living space. Although those living in the ghetto had access to physicians, they were incapable of curing the diseases because of a lack of medicine. Malnutrition lead to massive cases of Tuberculosis as well as dysentery, this lack of proper nutrition caused a weakened immune system making it very easy for the diseases to spread amongst the citizens of the ghetto. Unfortunately, there were numerous amounts of devastating deaths throughout the holocaust, there were a small percentage of Jewish people who survived this gruesome genocide.
