Testimony Poem -Anonymous Girl- Lodz Ghetto
March 10, 1942
God, what has happened to me?
The hunger is getting worse
I don't know how to restrain myself
I starve
When I eat, I eat tap water and vinegar from pickled beets
then have a stomache ache
God,
Take pity on me
The hunger is getting worse
I don't know how to restrain myself
I starve
When I eat, I eat tap water and vinegar from pickled beets
then have a stomache ache
God,
Take pity on me
