SOURCE A POSSIBLE DESCRIPTION OF A GHETTO BY A JEWISH INMATE. We have been forced into sealed off areas. We had to build the walls around this ghetto ourselves, to close us off from the outside world. We are crammed into small rooms, sometimes two or three families in one room. We have no sanitation or clean water, and disease is flourishing. Everyone who is healthy has to work a 12-hour day. We have to walk far to reach our places of work even though we do not have warm or suitable clothing. The work is hard and often dangerous. It is not unusual for people to die under these conditions. The Germans are using us as slave labour so that they do not use their men to do the work. 5.1 Write a paragraph to show what it was like to be part of the Jewish labour force in the ghettos? (10) SOURCE B Study the eyewitness account given below. I, Jewish businessman, was for weeks in the concentration camp at Buchenwald. The working hours were sixteen per day; Sundays and weekends alike. During these hours it was forbidden to drink, even in the hottest weather. The food itself was not bad, but quite insufficient: weak coffee at dawn, half a litre of soup at midday, and bread allowance for the whole day of 250 g. While he was there the work of Jewish prisoners was doubled, and their rations halved. Floggings were very frequent, for such small offences like drinking water during working hours. The usual punishment was 25 strokes given ultimately by two guards. Deaths took place daily in the camp. 5.2 Who wrote this account? (1) 5.3 Describe TWO ways in which the Jews were treated in the concentration camps. (2 x 1) (2) 5.4 Give a reason why the Jews were persecuted. (1) 5.5 Read the extracts which explain how the mobile killing squads organised themselves and also study the accompanying pictures A, B, C and D below. Write down letters A – D and briefly explain what each source (picture) is all about.
