The plans were to to deport the Jews from the Ghettos to the small Ghetto then the cattle cars.
The Jews of Sighet are first taken by the Germans to local ghettos after their arrival.
Oh, what a journey they had, friend! The Jews of Sighet were first sent to concentration camps, such as Auschwitz and Birkenau, during the Holocaust. It was a difficult time, but through it all, we can find strength in the human spirit and the power of hope.
Without a doubt, it was the Warsaw Ghetto, which at one stage had about 450,000 Jews living there.
decrible jews ghetto
Moshe suddenly leaves Sighet because he escapes a massacre carried out by the Gestapo against foreign Jews, who were living in Hungary without Hungarian citizenship. Moshe witnesses the horrors of the massacre and barely escapes with his life, prompting him to return to Sighet to warn the other Jews of the impending danger.
The Jews of Sighet initially believed the Germans were there to offer protection and help them. They were reassured by false promises and propaganda that they would be safe and treated well. This illusion was shattered when the harsh reality of the Holocaust unfolded.
Warsaw was a ghetto, but life was very poor for all jews.
The Warsaw ghetto was the largest ghetto established in Poland. the total of Jews that can be crowded in is about 450,000 Jews. They were crowded into an area of 1.4 square miles that was the Warsaw ghetto.
It wasn't only for Jews.
The conditions that the Jews lived inside the ghetto were really bad, some Jews either died from starvation or got disease from being in a tiny room with a lot of other Jews in there.
Life in the Sighet ghettos, as depicted in "Night" by Elie Wiesel, was characterized by overcrowding, hunger, fear, and dehumanization. Residents were subjected to harsh living conditions, limited resources, and constant surveillance by the German authorities. The ghettos served as a precursor to the even more brutal experiences that many would face in concentration camps.
