Being in possession of the figures regarding the number of deaths in late May of this year, we can present the mortality dynamics for the entire month of May. It appears as follows:
Early May — 975 deaths
Mid-May — 1,428 deaths
Late May — 1,408 deaths
On average in late May the daily number of deaths among Jews was 140.8. During the entire month of May the number of deaths among Jews amounted to 3,811, with an average number of 127 deaths per day. In relation to the approximate total population of Jewish Warsaw the percentage of deaths is 0.84, rapidly nearing 1 percent a month—a figure anticipated in the report we have submitted.
The data from the Children’s Shelter at Dzielna Street 39 (formerly the Main Shelter Home)254 are perhaps the clearest illustration of the phenomena of abandonment and hunger typical of the situation of the Jewish child.255
