2. Alvin Cullum York (December 13, 1887 – September 2, 1964), also known as Sergeant York, was one of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of World War I.[1] He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathered 35 machine guns, killing at least 25[2] enemy soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United States-led portion of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France, which was intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to surrender. He earned decorations from several allied countries during WWI, including France, Italy and Montenegro.

apart from forcing jews to live in ghettos, nazis also ensure forced labour for the jews.

the quality of life in ghettos was inhuman and very unhealthy.

those who lived in ghettos died due to starvation, or at times sent to concentration camps to be killed. they were forced to work for german reich, who was responsible for overlooking the daily proceedings at the ghetto.
