The Ghetto Walls
THE GHETTO WALLS
Czerniakow put together the ghetto walls. The ghetto walls came before concentration camps and Germans ordered Jews to there. Germans took Jew from their homes and placed them in the ghetto walls which was a walled city that they couldn’t leave. Police stood in front of the walls but not they were not there to protect the Jews, they were there to make sure that no one escaped. The ghetto police began to be brutal and became dishonest though. In May 1942 the ghetto became even worse. Jews were living in filth and drying of sicknesses. Czeniakow kept struggling as the ghetto walls were dying. The Jews that lived in the ghetto only received 1,125 calories a day. Deaths increased, people smuggled food from each other. The ghetto walls had a wall 10 feet high surrounding it. The wall had barbed wire on it. There were over 400,000 Jews there and German authorities made them live in 1.3 square miles with around 7 people per room. People in the ghetto walls tried to meet the needs for the residents but they were having trouble and struggling to survive.

Advice Column Dear Rosa, Hi Rosa it’s me, Gaby and I need some advice. Well so as you know my sister Ulla has been dating this guy and I just don’t think that this the right thing for her. She hasn’t been acting like herself and I miss her. She didn’t come to Caputh with us so she could stay home to be with Karl. To make matters worse she had to lie to my parents to be able to stay home. When they came up to visit we went somewhere and while we were there a teenager that supported the Nazis and Hitler was singing a song about being a part of Hitlers group. I don’t support them and I know that my sister doesn’t support them either but I saw Karl quietly singing along and his facial reaction looked as if he was enjoying the song. I was so mad when I saw him, I wasn’t sure if Ulla knew or not but I guess she eventually found out he supported them since he joined the Nazis. Also Ulla hasn’t only lied once when she was with Karl she also lied to me. She said she went to the lake to go swimming but I had proof that she didn’t and really just went to be with Karl. I really miss hanging out with my sister because even though I still get to be with her it’s like she’s a different person. Do you have any suggestions that could help me? Sincerely, Gaby ! ! !
Dear Gaby, Hi Gaby, I hear what you are saying and I will give the best advise I can because after all that is what best friends are for. So do you remember when my brother was dating that girl named, Cloe. Well just incase you don’t she was always with him. I almost never saw my brother and he had changed. Every time we would do things together as a family he would always make up some excuse so he could be with Cloe. I really missed hanging out with him just like you miss being with Ulla. Obviously you have more reasons to dislike Karl than I did to dislike Cloe but I would suggest that you tell her about how you feel. Don’t let her think that you don’t care that she’s dating someone that you truly hate. I talked with my brother and eventually he broke up with Cloe. He knew that family meant more than anything and I bet that Ulla will feel the same way! I hope that helped! Your Friend, Rosa
