The establishment of ghettos marked the end of freedom of movement for Jews. Write about what freedom means to you in your life and what you think it would mean to lose it. (Echoes and Reflections)
Freedom could mean many different things to different people. To me freedom means being able to do as you please and the Jews in the ghettos did not have that privilege. The Jews rights were slowly getting stolen from them. Their freedom was getting taken from them at small amounts at a time then they were deported to ghettos. After being deported to the ghettos they had almosts no rights at all. After a long period of time it got to the point where the Jews were not allowed to see anybody, talk to anybody, and their freedom was gone completely. If I lost my freedom like the Jewish people had I would be horrified and saddened. To lose my freedom would mean that my rights were gone and I would feel like less of a human because of that. The Jews were dehumanized and put into ghettos, they lost all of their rights and freedom. Freedom is important and a lot of us can’t imagine living in a world without it. After the Jews were put into ghettos, they were willing to take any sign of freedom because the luxury of it was suddenly taken away from them.
