Little Gardens in the Courtyards

"As last year, so this year, many little gardens are planned for the courtyards, as for example, at Szpitalna 5, Jatkowa 15, Szawelska 5, Lida 8, Strashun 3, Szawelska 1, and Strashun 15. Smaller gardens will be planted in almost all ghetto courtyards.

"Instead of flowers over us, we will make our courtyards bloom for the time being."
