Ruhr miners and families starved while waiting for coal
In Essen the Dolata family two sons and Frau Dolata live in a one room 18 square foot basement home. Stephan Dolata, 170 pounds, now 120, receives heavy worker rations but mostly gives them to his wife and children. The family averages 700 to 1,400 daily calories, far below needs, as British officials stress that miners must be fit to mine to secure Europe’s coal.
