  1. THE CAGE BY: RUTH MINSKY SENDER

  2. “A message for mama. Blue little clouds, floating so free won’t you please carry a message for me if on your journey you should happen to see my mother.” “Tired, weary, left all alone torn from her children filled with sorrow and pain. Please, gently touch her please, gently kiss her bring her my love. Tell how I miss her. Feel her pain, feel her sorrow please tell her, my friends, she must live for tomorrow! If you see her tears, please wipe them tell her soon, soon will come the day when together again we will be. A mother, her children-a family all free! Mama, dear mama, please whisper for me today will vanish-believe. Soon your empty arms your children will fill the sorrow will turn to joy. Tomorrow is near dear Mama, please live! Be strong we’ll weather this storm. We’ll find you, dear Mama please, do not despair we will live! We will live to be free!”

  3. Deportation • This is a picture of Jewish people from the Lodz ghetto who are being deported to go to a labor camp, or death camp. Around 1,000 Jews were deported every day. When the Nazi’s influence over the Jews started to diminish, and less people left to go to the labor camps, the Nazi’s just lowered their food income, and promised more food to them if they left on the trains. Thousands more people were forced to leave the ghetto after this.

  4. Entrance to Lodz Ghetto • This is a picture of the entrance to the Lodz ghetto. The sign on the right says "Jewish residential area--entry forbidden.” The Lodz ghetto was just a cage for the Jews, so the Nazi’s could round them up more easily

  5. The Living Conditions • Some Jews in Poland were forced to move into the Lodz ghetto. The living conditions in the ghetto were awful, where one family normally had to share one tight room. This is a picture of an apartment building from the Holocaust that is still standing. As you can see, it would not be a very nice place to live.
