Abstract
During World War II, German racial policy designated Jews 'useless eaters', and denied them sufficient food for survival. This book reveals how the hunger which resulted from this intentional starvation impacted every aspect of Jewish life inside the ghettos as people tried to survive through a range of coping mechanisms and survival strategies.
