It is very important to know, that Ghetto and
concentration camp is not the same: Ghetto - hermeticaly closed town or its parts, where jews were concentrated from other parts of land and they can't go out - the standard of living and the hygienical conditions were very bad - from the ghetto were the people transported to exterminating camps - families weren´t separated Concentration camp - the families were separated - there were concentrated not only jews but many other "problemgroups" - the people in the concentration camps were used for hard manual work - people who couldn't work were killed |
