Abrom Korn was a survivor of the Kutno Ghetto. He wrote a story and here are some of the details of his life in the ghetto.

My family was sent to the Kutno Ghetto. It had one toilet for 2,000 people. Trash and sewage was all over the area. Many of the people were in the quarintine room so they wouldn't spread typhus. We had a worthless hospital. We had a 1/4th of food to what the Germans had. my friend and I were trying to escape. My mom was worried about me, but my dad liked the idea. We bribed the guard with a wristwatch and a throw rug. When I was out , I learned how to deal in the black market. I smuggled in goods to my family and once got caught. I was beaten unconscious but survived.
 

Abrom Korn had an unmemorable experience in the Kutno Ghetto. He died a couple of years ago, right after narrorating a book on his life in the ghetto.

Stanislaw Rozycki was another person who survived a ghetto. He described his time in the ghetto like this. "Nightmare figures of ghosts of former human beings were pathetic remnants of former humans. People were lacking vitamins and fresh air, had no nutrition of a normal human. All people wondered of the fate that  was to occur to them. They were sick and had pendolous skin and alarming emaciation and sickliness. I myself didn't even recognize my best friend of twenty years. If you look out at children on the streets they
are dying of hunger and have no clothes. Surely God didn't mean for this to happen."
