In winter of 1942 mother’s parents Haim and Leya starved to death. Until March 1944 the population of the ghetto reduced dramatically. Inmates of the ghetto died of typhoid, exhaustion and hard work. There were anti sanitary conditions in the ghetto. Dirt and lice were a common problem. It’s hard to say how many inmates of the ghetto survived, but I know there weren’t many survivors. Fortunately, my mother, my brother and sister and I survived.
