After reading and analyzing the struggles from the first two chapters from “The Cage,” by Ruth Minsky Sender. Recognizing the difficulties in the ghetto was apparent because many people were hopeless, terrified and worked to death with the labor that was forced. Within the ghetto, many diseases were passed around like tuberculous. Once someone had received the conditions, there was nothing that they could do about it. Due to the malnutrition and the lack of resources the doctors were unable to help in any form. The nazis would often kill the sick, or the sick would die on their own due to natural causes. It was not helpful that the parents would often get separated from their children. Young adults and teens would often have to take on the mother role for their family. Having to mature so quickly was expected. Young adults would hope to go back to school to receive an education. When in fact, they set up study groups to educate each other. The Jewish were very unfortunate because they would only get a loaf of bread a week and a bowl of soup to cure their hunger. The quality of life was horrendous as people spend years in a city that they could never leave due to the large fence that covered the cities.
