The Secret Police and Party Activists
Brigades arrived at different times of day or night to catch whoever had food red-handed. Families were searched, and then searched again to make sure that nothing remained. One woman remembered what happened to her mother during the search. The secret police and party activists would use their power over the people for personal exploitation as well. Mothers with starving children would be forced to prostitute themselves in exchange for a piece of bread.
