[edit] Food Rations
Is there a source for this 253 calories per Jew? From what I understand, heavy labourers in Buchenwald Concentration camp were given 1750 calories per day.
http://www.shoaheducation.com/food.html says 600 per day in concentration camps generally, but unfortunately, doesn't list calories in ghettos.
Only 253 in the Warsaw ghetto seems horrifically low. It might well be true, but I'm curious where the stat comes from. -- TheMightyQuill 13:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
