The women and children eat common matzes, but there are "feminists" who are not content with leaving all the religious duties to the men and struggle for equality in matters of the "next world". These women read "Tzenna u’r’cnna" and know a smattering of the law so that, on winning the fight they, too, join the eaters of "guarded" matzes. Not only is the raw material, the "guarded" wheat, costly, but the baking of these matzes comes much higher than that of the common product. The baking procedure is as follows : Every even-ing before sunset the gentile drawer of water brings water from the well, accompanied by a child who sees to it that no sour element enters ...

  ... pa-tients. At that time the District Officer Dr. Ehaus became ill and I was suggested to him as an expe-rienccd physician. Better die, he answered, "than be cured by a Jew". To our regret he became bet-ter. From time to time he came to the gate of the Ghetto beside which the Hospital stood in order to check whether anybody was smuggling food. He used to raise the women’s skirts and kick them Tode. (We are winning to death.) You may be a good doctor, but you are a bad strategist." Mean-while the Jews were very happy because they believed that Hitler would be too busy to have time to think about them, and meanwhile he would break his neck.
