When all the Jewish people were concentrated into the Ghettos in Poland, the next thing the Nazis wanted was to get rid of them, but how, so they came up with the idea to move the people out of the Ghettos by force, put them on cattle trains to the Camps and burn the ghettos down so even if there were people hiding they would have been burned alive. This tragedy was called the liquidation of the ghettos.
The Holocaust ghettos got liquidated because of Hitlers idea of " The Final Solution" This idea was that all Jews should be completely erased from the surface of the world. The people in the ghettos were taken from the ghettos usually on trains to the Concentration camps where they were forced to do manual worked, gased, burned,shot or experimented on.
-------------------------------------
They were liquidated because the time for their usefulness had passed. Enough people had died, there were no more people to re-populate the ghetto, the real estate could be put to better use.

The Nazis never intended the ghettos to be permanent. They regarded herding Jews into ghettos as a kind of interim measure - certainly not as the Final Solution. Yes, there was also the point about real estate. After the Warsaw Ghetto had been liquidated, part of the area was cleared and a concentration camp was built there, mainly for Poles who didn't co-operate with the Nazi occupiers.
The Nazi ghettos were never intended to be permanent; they were in many ways like vast transit camps, where the Jews were held till they were transported to extermination camps or killing fields.
The ghettos were estabishd to keep all of the Jewish people together in one place. This would help the Nazis control and segregate the Jews.

The ghettos were liquidated in 1941-1944 by sending the inhabitants, who were all Jews, to extermination camps.
They were established to keep the Jews segregated.
There were Closed, Open, and Destruction ghettos during the Holocaust..
There were three types of ghettos: closed ghettos, open ghettos, and destruction ghettos. The Germans established at least 1,000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone. German occupation authorities established the first ghetto in Poland in PiotrkówTrybunalski in October 1939.
In WWII, going into the Holocaust, Jews were first sent to nearby major cities where ghettos were established, then they were sent to Poland, to the ghettos there and/or to concentration camps to be used as labour and eventually to an extermination centre where they were executed.

The ghettos were made as a place to keep the Jewish members of society in one place. That way, it would be much easier to monitor their behavior, keep them from running away, and to transport them to concentration camps quicker and more efficiently.
