The death rate dropped from a frightening peak during the first days of the liberation, to what he call "expected death here and there", many of the survivors suffer from tuberculosis, the housing conditions are not suitable for a healthy life, there are no sheets in the beds, and no bath soap. Many of the survivors are still dressed in the camp prisoner's clothes, no clothes were brought into the area. The problem of morale is increasing every day. In his words you can see how deep he went into the difficult situation he was facing, as he writes: "The longer the Jew is forced to be imprisoned in an endless wait, the more difficult the problem will be to shape his life so that it fits into the normal patterns of life... For years the Jews waited for their release from animal slavery, and now that they have been released, they eagerly await their freedom. These people are standing there now exhausted and despairing, without the slightest idea of a clear plan for their recovery... The Jew is forced to endure an endless wait.. ".
