In Poland, Lithuania and some other areas they Jews were put into ghettos while the Nazis decided what to do with them.
The ghettos were walled or fenced-in districts where Jews were forced to live under Nazi rule. The Jews in the ghettos were completely dependent on the Nazis for food, water and medication. The living conditions were appalling, and many died of starvation and disease. These communities were hopelessly overcrowded, as the Nazis kept on sending more and more Jews from surrounding areas into the ghettos. From early December 1941 on the Nazis sent Jews from the ghettos to extermination camps.
There were over 500 ghettos scattered across Eastern Europe.

Ghetto is a very old word, going back to about 1600, for neighborhoods which were reserved for Jews. Depending on the time and place, and your point of view, you could say a ghetto was a place Jews were allowed to live or were forced to live. (In some parts of Europe, Jews were required by law to reside in a ghetto until about 1800, but they were opened by Napoleon).
In World War II the Nazi restrictions on Jews were very severe. Jews were forced into ghettos and not allowed to leave, at all, for any purpose, except to be taken out and killed.
Life in the ghettos was dehumanizing, to say the least. The living restrictions were arduous, people lived in overcrowded conditions, residents were forced to do hard labor, and many people were subjected to beatings and other cruel attrocities. In order to survive residents frequently engaged in so-called illegal activities, such as smuggling food, medicine, weapons and information across the ghetto walls.
From November 1939 on the Nazis established ghettos, mainly in Eastern Europe - especially in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Nazi ghettos during the Holocaust were separated from surrounding areas by fences, walls and guards. Conditions within these ghettos were harsh from the outset and deteriorated further ...
Those who lived in these districts were forbidden to leave. The Jews in the Nazi ghettos were completely (or almost completely) dependent on the Germans for food, water, fuel and other essentials, and the amounts allowed in were grossly inadequate. In some ghettos, the inhabitants were able to establish small workshops. They had to smuggle in the raw materials and then smuggle out the finished products, which they bartered for food and further raw materials ...
Every ghetto had a Nazi-nominated 'Jewish Council' or Judenrat which had to police it and distribute food. The initial attraction of this arrangement to Jews was that it was better than having the SS police the ghettos. However, it usually turned the Jewish Council into unwilling collaborators. Ultimately, the SS ordered the Jewish Councils to name people for deportation to extermination camps.
Living conditions in the ghettos were atrocious. There was insufficient food and usually no medication. The ghettos were hopelessly overcrowded and fatal diseases were widespread. The dead were piled on the curbs and street corners to be buried in mass graves. Many went without proper clothing, food, or shelter. When the bodies were buried, the Nazis then dumped more Jews from other places in the ghettos.
These ghettos were another way for the Germans to control of Jews when they didn't have the space for them in camps or the means to transport them. The ghettos were basically 'holding areas' for the Jews. These ghettos were then 'liquidated', starting in late 1941: this meant that the remaining Jews were shipped off to camps for extermination.
In April 1943 some of the Jews still in the Warsaw Ghetto organized and armed themselves to fight the Germans and there was a uprising, which the Germans easily put down. There were also uprisings in the Vilnius and Bialystock ghettos.
Well known, major Nazi ghettos included those in:
The ghetto in Sighet, Transylvania is well known because Elie Wiesel lived there.

Jews were first imprisoned in 'Jewish quarters' of certain cities, or 'ghettos' as they would be known. Later they were imprisoned in camps, be they labour, transit or concentration camps.
This question is odd. It is formulated in a way that suggests there was an actual war between 'the Jews' and the Nazis. There was the Holocaust, in which the Nazis murdered about 6 million harmless and defenceless Jews. That began in late 1941/early 1942. The idea that there was an actual war between Jews and Nazis is false.
Ghettos started in Poland and moved forward to Germany because the Jews were forced to live there after being kicked out of Jerusalem and then the holocaust started... ___The Nazi ghettos for Jews started in occupied Poland in October 1939.

to keep track of where they was at
The support that the Nazis gave to the ghettos was quickly withdrawn and the ghettos were forced to become profitable.
In practice, that is exactly what the ghettos set up by the Nazis were.
basically as soon as the Germans occupied a country, they would put the Jews into ghettos.
The simple answer is no.
because they were one of the main causes of the Holocast. With the ghettos being so over crowded, the Nazis had to create their 'Final Solution'.
They limited them and put rules on them, and later moved them to ghettos.
They Started getting education among themselves.
that would require an essay, but yes they established ghettos, when there were too many ghettos and too many people the Nazis started liquidating them.
they were most likely killed ___ They were given insufficent food and usually no medication in the ghettos. Most of the ghettos were also hopelessly overcrowded and disease spread easily. Moreover, from December 1941 on the inhabitants of the ghettos were taken to extermination camps and killed there.
