Which Scottish Island is underpopulated and wants families to move there?

Canna, one of the Small Isles (Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rum) just south of the Isle of Skye. The cutoff date for applications was Nov 11th and two families have already been chosen. A similar scenario took place around 2001 (I think) in Shetland, where they advertised for new families. They also advertised recently for families to move to Muck (one of the Small Isles, as mentioned above) who were facing similar population decline. The National Trust for Scotland seem to orchestrate these 'recruitment drives' but there is nowt stopping anyone with the right to live and work in Scotland from moving up there of their own accord. The obvious problems to overcome are accommodation (hence these recent drives as the National Trust were opening up their own properties for accommodation) and employment.

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).
