They started to send in the Jews...
that were living in the--
in the main quarters of the city,
in the more affluent quarters, to the--
more--
to the slum areas of the city of Lodz.
And then they officially...
designated the poorest area of Lodz--
That this will be the area of a ghetto.
So, naturally, all the people, all the Jews,
living outside this area started to move in...
with as little or as much as they could barely take with them,
not even knowing where they will live...
and which house and which apartment.
For instance, our family of six people...
lived in two rooms, and this was considered, in those days,
a normal area of living...
for a family of six.
My father's brother and his family are another family of six--
came in to live with us.
So for about two years or so,
12 people lived in these two rooms.
