ABSTRACT
This chapter explores various aspects of everyday life, such as sanitary conditions in the ghetto and how to procure clothes and other necessities. An important everyday issue was the lack of food, which led to schleuse, stealing from the common goods. The sources include reflections about the long-time consequences of this on the children. Religious life in Theresienstadt is considered from the point of view of the Danes; so is cultural life, which a few Danes participated in actively and others enjoyed as public. Birthdays and other private gatherings were celebrated in the ghetto, and after the arrival of food parcels in spring 1944 they were often celebrated around food. A part of the chapter discusses ghetto marriages, sexual relations, child births, and abortions.
