Abstract | "This book focuses on the Jews in the ̐u̐uod̐uz, Warsaw, and Krak̐uow ghettos as they struggled to survive the deadly Nazi ghetto and in particular, the genocidal famine conditions. Jews had no control over Nazi food policy but they could-and did-attempt to survive the deadly conditions of Nazi ghettoization through a range of coping mechanisms and survival strategies. This book tells their story"-- Provided by publisher. |
