The Ghettos

Lesson Snapshot:

• In September 1939 the Nazis came up with a plan to round up all of the Jews in Poland, which they now controlled, and house them into specially created areas called ghettos
• Several hundred ghettos were established in Poland alone
• A ghetto would be a certain part of a town or city just for Jews
• Walls and fences were built around the ghetto to keep the Jews in
• In the ghetto a council of Jewish elders was appointed to run the ghetto efficiently
• Life in the ghettos was very difficult
• Staying alive in the ghettos was a way to resist the Nazis
