You're a Jew in a Polish ghetto during the Holocaust...What would you do?

I was given this scenario in my Antisemitism seminar:

"The Jewish community is now pressed into the poor section of town which has become a ghetto. The Judenrat [Jewish council, leaders of the Jews in the ghetto] is given the responsibility of taxing the incomes of those who work in factories that have been moved into into the ghetto by German industrialists. These industrialists have assured you that 'rescue comes through work.' With rumors that the Russian army is only 125 miles away, the ethic became clear, 'work will save blood.'

One day, as a member of the Judenrat, you are called in by the SS and told that contrary to the decree that there are to be no new cases of childbirth in the ghetto, it has been reported that there are a number of pregnant women. You are told that there is hardly enough food in the Reich to feed good Germans, and that there is no food to feed Jewish 'brats.' You are reminded of an example of in a neighboring village where a whole family was shot because of violation of the decree. You are told to go home immediately and 'set your house in order' or the SS doctor will take care of the women. It is also clearly implied that reprisals will be taken against all in the ghetto.

You return to the Judenrat offices and a debate rages. You know that one of the twenty women reported pregnant had long tried to conceive without success. The choice facing you is whether to press these women to undergo abortions. Your choice is between taking the life of the 'unborn' in the hope of saving the living, or refusing to carry out the order and face SS reprisals.

a. Will you press these women to undergo abortions?

b. If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not."
