Yosef Charny, a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto describes the scarcity of food and the starvation his family experienced. This video is an excerpt from the film "Starvation and Soup Kitchens in the Warsaw Ghetto."
People were crammed into small spaces in the ghetto. Multiple families were forced to share single bedroom apartments. Despite plentiful food outside the walls of the ghettos, food was strictly rationed inside, and many people inside the walls of the ghetto starved.
