Ghettos:
After the beginning of World War 2, Nazi's began ordering all Jews to live within certain , very specific, area's of big cities called ghetto's. Some ghetto's started out as open, which means Jews could leave the area during the daytime but often had to be back within the ghetto by curfew. Later all ghetto's became closed, which meant that Jews were trapped within the confiness of the ghetto and not allowed to leave. A few MAJOR ghetto's were located in the cites of Bialystok, Kovno, Lodz, Minsk, Riga, Vilna, and Warsaw. The largest ghetto ever built was Warsaw with it's highest population reaching 445,000 in March 1941. Nazi's would order deportations from the ghetto's. In some large ghetto's 1,000 Jews per day were loaded up in trains and sent to concentration camps or death camps. To get Jews to cooperate, the Nazi's told the Jews they were being transported to another place for labor. Also when the Nazi's decided to kill the remaining Jews in a ghetto, they would "liquidate" a ghetto by boarding the last Jews in the ghetto on trains.
