This was an excellent interview. The interviewer let the Survivor tell his story. He had a good memory of everything.

Josher slaughtering requires the animal to be held, its throat sliced open and the animal left to bleed slowly to death, A slow painful death is NOT humane by anyone's standards. Banning kosher slaughter is banning an inhumane slaughter. He also talked about some organized group of Poles that supposedly went around to towns and beat jews with clubs. In his town only the jews were so tough they fought back so this supposedly organized hate group wasn't a problem. He explained his town had butchers and the like so that's why they were so tough. I know everyone wants to look like the hero but again, NEVER heard of this organized group and every town in Poland had butchers, farmers, etc so it wouldn't have been his town that had the special tough jews that could fight back. He talked about picking up some food from a hotel where only German soldiers were right after the invasion and getting severely beaten by many soldiers with their rifle butts. He also says when they finally stopped he jumped up and ran straight home. If you've taken a severe beating you can't jump up and run. He also talked about how his parents questioned where the food he was supposed to pick up was. If your child came home with a severe beating, the first thing you do is check out your child-not ask about where the package he was supposed to pick up was.I do appreciate his honesty in telling about stronger prisoners stealing from the weak and forming gangs to attack the weaker prisoners.

I thought the same thing about the beating he talked about. I suspect it wasn't as severe of a beating as he probably made it sound. I'm sure the combination of seeing the past through the lens of how much worse things got later may have made that incident seem more intense. Plus I'm sure the sheer terror of just being around soldiers at that time could make even a few knocks with the butt of a gun seem like a major beating. Although life in the Lodz ghetto was no picnic, most survivors say it wasn't quite as horrendous as the Warsaw ghetto
