When you did work, whether it was like me, or whether you were a musician, or whether you were a ghetto Wache, or whatever you did, you got a second meal. The second meal con-consisted of another portion of thin soup. But the elderly, or those who couldn’t work – namely, or particularly the elderly – only got one meal. And you couldn’t live on that, and they would die within four to five weeks at the most.
