Have you ever just had a bad day maybe you're sick and you just feel miserable all day or you forget your coat at home and end up being really cold all day, or even forget your lunch money and you can't eat for a while. The jews that got put in the ghettos felt worse then that every day of their lives and the worst thing was they had no hope, they couldn't just go to the doctors when they were ill or have options of food everyday. The nazis made their lives miserable and i'm going to tell you how.
Many tragic things occurred during world war II, the natzis created jewish ghettos wich affected 3.8 million of the jewish population. More than 400 jewish ghettos were established. The natzis belived they were not worthy to live there for they were isolated in these ghettos and the nazis believed because of the little food, illness and poor living conditions that they would summoned.

Diseases were being spread like crazy and the streets filled with garbage and human waste. Children were taking care of even younger children, the winters were devastating with no heat and little clothing. Not only were people dying from illness and starvation but there were many who killed himself while not knowing what was to come next. Although the jews had little hope the children still managed to play using old cigarette boxes as playing cards, some even brought a toy along with them if not they would make there own. The importance of education did not completely fade, as they had classes ran by adults in the ghettos, they would hide books so they would not get caught, because the nazis believed jews did not need an education so they didn't get
Each resident was allotted a tiny ration of food that was barely a tenth of what a person should eat each day.” This shows that many people that weren't jews especially the police and nazis didn't care about how many died they didn't care how many were sick they didn't care about what they did and what they ate and how they starved. All they cared about was killing the Jews. because of this many Jews passed just trying to walk the streets just trying to get better just trying to eat and helping their family survive. These disasters did take place they did happen, and many died.
During World War II, there was genocide against Jews called the Holocaust. During this time, there were concentration camps where Jews were worked, starved, and beat daily. These camps deeply affected friends and families. Being separated, many never saw each other again. Living in unimaginable conditions and taken from their loved ones, these events had a major impact and changed the lives of those affected forever.
The holocaust begin in 1933 and ended in 1945. The Jewish people were targeted by the nazis because Hitler and the nazis blamed Jewish people for the cause of WWI to cover up the fact of how bad they were. The way Jewish people were discriminated against was by the government they would use their power to target and exclude Jewish people from German society. First, they would strip them of their rights.
The ghettos were often overcrowded and did not have electrical needs. The ghettos were also very unsanitary. Vashem states “During the Holocaust Jews were stripped of their homes and forced to live in terrible conditions with very little food” (1). The people that lived in the ghetto were underfed and malnourished. The people were also punished severely if they tried to smuggle food in.
But this was only a small fraction of their troubles. Soon walls were built around the area, and the true horrors began. During their days in the ghetto the jews had to deal with finding food to eat, finding a way to be useful and help their families, and if they were taking classes, which were done in secret, to be careful and hide their books from the germans. The jews were also sent to camps, where they were worked to death, shot to death, and starved to death. Their items were stolen, and they couldn 't do anything about it.
Jewish citizens had to experience this every day, and a variety of other inhumane events both in the Ghettos and in the concentration camps, which led to most Jews suffering from horrendous
The Jewish people were murdered in camps, put to hard labor work, or looked down at by the Germans in general. Being a Jewish person meant that you couldn't travel, or own land, or do anything normal (German) person would do. Even as something simple like giving a piece of bread or painting over Jewish slurs, would get questioned about your loyalty and would get people thinking that they are agisnt the “Nazis”. The Nazi regime had brought radical and daunting social, economic change to the German Jewish community. If you were a terribly poor German with no money or food or good family.
Hitler forced the Jews to move into a certain part of the city called “Gettos”. In the Gettos there was hardly any water, food and medical care. The jews weren’t taken care of they lived in small rooms with multiple other families. Eventually all Jews were brought to concentration camps. They were told they were going to a better place.
The Ghettos In the fall of 1941, many Jews in Germany occupied countries of Austria and Czechoslovakia were deported to Poland.(book) They were forced to live in the ghettos , which were set up in a major towns there.(book) These were enclosed by walls and guarded at night. The jews were only permitted to take a few personal items with them to the ghetto, in the process being stripped of the homes and property that they had left behind.(Daily Life in Ghettos) Jewish councils, made up of elders, who were community leaders, were responsible for organizing the day-to day affairs of the ghettos.(book) The people working for the Jewish council forced a very difficult task.(book)
In many ways, Nazis had physically, mentally, and emotionally dehumanized their victims. The Jews were treated so badly by the Nazis that they felt as if they weren’t even humans; they felt like animals. For example, the Jewish prisoners were always being yelled at with harsh tones. Eliezer only remembers one time when a Polish
In the ghettos, living conditions were very harsh. There were ridiculous rules like “no hands in your pockets” (Altman The Holocaust Ghettos 42). The ghettos could be described as “crowded and unsanitary living conditions” (Blohm Holocaust Camps 10), with six to seven people living in each room (Adler 57). The ghettos were always sealed, with a wall, barbed wire, or posted boundaries (Altman the Holocaust Ghettos 14). Around the ghettos they were always guarded, if any Jew tried to escape, they would be killed (Adler 57).
The Nazis used Ghettos during the Holocaust to separate, persecute, and destroy European Jews. They combined into the Nazi’s long standing racial policy. The goal of ghettos established as temporary; however, they lasted for days, weeks, or years. Three types of ghettos made up the Holocaust: closed, open, and destruction.
The Holocaust is a time in history when millions of people were persecuted in Europe by being sent to live in ghettos and eventually being deported to concentration camps where they were systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. The Jews were moved to the ghettos, because Hitler pushed the Jews to move to the east, then they concore move of the east and move them more to the east. Then “there was no more room for them to move to the east, so they built ghettos for them to live” (Byers 32). But his true intentions were to “separate the Jewish people from manly Germans and also other races” (Allen 37).
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
