Even during the horrors of the Holocaust I never heard of that happening. It seems hard to believe. I wonder if it is meant to be taken literally???
Two completely different types of tragedies.
In the Holocaust, prisoners were generally fed, even if minimally. As a result, (barring some possible extraordinary exceptions that I’m not aware of) no one had to resort to eating children.
In an ancient city under siege, however, there is no one providing even minimum sustenance. In such cases, people are forced to eat *anything* edible… even if it’s each other.
