Food
The "food" here is unacceptable being called food. For breakfast, they were fed "imitations coffee" or "imitation herbal tea". For lunch, they were fed a watery soup. Anyone who got a peel of a potato and a slice of carrot was very, very lucky. For dinner, they were fed a piece of bread weighting exactly 300 grams. A small amount of butter of jam was also given with it. This bread was expected to last them till' morning.

“The dead body had a piece of bread...” “... I’m taking this piece of bread from this dead body... ... and I’m taking this one pair of boots and I can sell it. With this I can buy myself a place to live. I can buy myself a place to sleep. With this bread I bought myself a bit of access [to wash]. Your bowl was your life, without your bowl you didn’t eat.”
