Working conditions

The impoverished Jewish residents of Bałuty struggled to find work, often working in small factories or as artisans, such as weavers, tailors, and shoemakers, while others were involved in trade. Children were also sent to work at a young age to help feed their families. Some people turned to crime as a result of their poverty. The audio includes excerpt of the song “Srulek” (perf. Adam Aston).
