The theatre in the GHETTO
1. Conditions for the Establishment of Theatres
The cultural life in the ghetto is deformed and this is why the conditions [. . .] were also totally abnormal [. . .] victims a day, and the diseases, [. . .] hunger, cold, and lack of hygiene are a plague [. . .] But the indefatigable spirit [. . .] [2] [. . .] No public libraries, presentations, lectures, etc. We cannot organise [. . .]—providing something to read and some entertainment—[. . .] entertainment of a different kind [. . .], because we cannot leave, go for a walk [. . .] to the countryside [. . .], to the races, matches, wrestling [. . .] [this is?] all we have, when we lack [. . .], a way to relax and feel [. . .] To have a good night sleep and [. . .], but it is not enough and this is why [. . .] [3] [. . .]. [. . .] no materials, [. . .], wings, stage decorations, chairs—[. . .] the expenses can pay off nowadays. [. . .] they can start to adapt the premises to the needs of [. . .] no decorations, costumes, equipment, [. . .] everything remained on the other side or was burned. [. . .] [4] by the entrepreneur fearing censorship. But the ghetto lacks patrons of the arts, rich [. . .] functioning theatres, no institutions [. . .].
The same is true about [. . .]. The author, translator, editor, [. . .], director, actor, decorator, stage [. . .]—in the ghetto they are all [. . .] and decimated. [Many?] Jewish [artists?] or [artists?] of Jewish origin are outside Warsaw, [. . .] the same is true about actors and directors.
