Day 2 describes the Jews’ experiences in the ghetto as they face deportation during the Holocaust. At first, they are shocked and in disbelief, but soon, they prepare frantically for relocation. The ghetto is overcrowded, with little food or water, and the authorities treat them brutally. Despite the harsh conditions, moments of resilience and community emerge as people try to hold onto hope. The excerpt ends with the beginning of the transport, signaling an uncertain and terrifying future.
