There is a romanticism for the Ghetto that never really existed
There is a video that is floating around on youtube of Munkatch in I think 1933 that sums up the ghetto best
The opening scene is the wedding of the Munckatchers Rebbe’s daughter (I think its his daughter) and the Rebbe is giving mussor about the lack of Shabbos in America
Another scene is a bunch of school children singing Hatikvah (Actually pretty sad since you know most of them are going to be killed soon and they wont reach adulthood)
A final scene is a bunch of young people dancing in a circle (Mixed dancing) and singing some sort of song
Clearly all sorts of people lived in Munkatch
If you have time you should really watch the video, its fascinating and a brief glimse into shtel life
