The Starlin stuff I have been looking at gives an account of a woman having only one beetroot to give to her starving children..her son was sick so she divided the beetroot between the three "healthy" but starving girls...when asked why not feed him she said she had to do all she could to help her healthy off spring survive...the son died and when the undertaker called to pick him up he put the near lifeless mother on the cart as well..when challenged he said doing such would save a return trip the next day.
Or workers who did not meet their quota were made do another shift and the bread ration cut to 7 onces.
Unfortunately not all the stories of the 100 million who died were recorded but one gets the impression we perhaps fail to realise how lucky we really are.
