In many towns and cities Jews in Europe were required by law to live in the ghetto. The main purpose of this was to keep them under supervision. When outside the ghetto they had to wear a yellow Star of David on their outermost clothing. In places where there was mob violence against Jews, the ghetto to some extent provided protection. When ghettos were dissolved from the late 1790s onwards, most Jews who could do so moved out. In many cases the boundaries of the ghettos hadn't been extended for centuries, and the places had become very crowded and had often become slums. When the Nazis reintroduced ghettos from 1939-41 onwards the aim was to keep the Jews under close supervision and to reduce the Jewish population by starvation and disease. They ghettos were also close to railway stations ...
