How was life for the Jews in the Sighet ghettos?
The Shtetl provided a very insular communal life which revolved around the home, the synagogue, and the market place. This led to very strong communal structure and "everyone knowing everyone else's business". As a result, religious practice was more or less mandatory (people would know if you did not show and avoid you) and the trustees of the community created a welfare state for the poor in the community. Business was slow, if existent, as most Jews were not allowed to leave the Shtetl and made handicrafts. Yiddish was perfected as a Jewish language separate from mainstream society and Hasidism was forged in these communities. Overall, Jews in the Shtetl had worse sanitation and living conditions than their non-Jewish brethren outside of the district. However, the unique cultural expression and spirituality of the Shtetl environment has led to its romanticization by Modern Post-Shtetl Jews (like Chagall).
