I only wish to be remembered.... I wish my wife to be remembered, Gele Sekstein.... I wish my little daughter to be remembered. Margalit is 20 months old today.... She too deserves to be remembered.”

The inhabitants were said to have lived on 180 grams of bread a day, 220 grams of sugar a month, 1 kg of jam, and 1/2 of honey, etc. It was calculated that the officially supplied rations did not cover even 10 percent of normal requirements. If one had really tried to restrict themselves to the rations the entire population of the Ghetto would have died in a very short amount of time.]]> 2022-12-06 18:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabell5/ngduh64rcwbzigka/wish/2411130370 kaylabell5 https://padlet.com/kaylabell5/ngduh64rcwbzigka/wish/2411140362 Jewish resistance fighters who were captured by SS troops during the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

Within a short time, he was living in the Warsaw ghetto and working as a slave laborer. Recruited into the underground by his future wife Vladka, whom he met in the midst of the war, he was responsible for rescuing ghetto fighters and finding and building hiding places for them. Ben and Vladka were among those Jews on the "Aryan" side of the ghetto wall who distributed the April 23, 1943, appeal from the Jewish Fighting Organization.]]> 2022-12-06 19:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabell5/ngduh64rcwbzigka/wish/2411164979 kaylabell5 https://padlet.com/kaylabell5/ngduh64rcwbzigka/wish/2411171037 Holocaust Encyclopedia | United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (ushmm.org)
