The Final Solution required that people be deported from the ghettos to the extermination camps.
The Jewish ghettos in WWII, sometimes known as Jewish quarters were sections of cities which were segregated for Jews to live in. (These becoming the only places where Jews were alowed to live).
Traditional ghettos were seen as permanent places for Jews to live (separated from the rest of the population). The Nazis, on the other hand, saw the ghettos as temporary - as staging posts in the Final Solution. The last 'traditional' Jewish ghetto - that in Rome - had been opened (liberated) in 1870. The Nazis reintroduced ghettos for Jews in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in 1939-41 and deliberately kept the food and water supplies inadequate.
Ghettos were the places they kept the Jews. The ghettos were isolated, enclosed communities that the Germans kept the Jews in. Ghettos were where the Jews were forced to live, under horrible conditions.
Of the places where there were ghettos Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary were included. There might have been other places that I can't think of right now. Vera K. Grifenhagen
Yes Bradford and many more places.
The ghetto was like an animal cage, it contained what was inside it and limited contact with the outside world. This was ordered as part of the final solution to Hitler Jewish question. They were contained and catalogued so they could be easily tracked, produce goods for the German military and could be easily deported. However that couldn't have been the only reason for the ghettos, they spreading suffering, disease and despair. Could have it been used to weaken and kill the Jewish population? Nazis would have just considered it to be the most efficient solution but it is quite clear that the main purpose was to make the Jewish race suffer before they were killed.
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 ...

Not anymore! Most Jewish places are now non-sectarian.
There have been many different types of Jewish councils over the years. The one most often mentioned in English with that title was the Judenrat, which was the Jewish-run committee in the Nazi ghettos that would be responsible for reporting to the Nazis on the internal affairs of the ghetto and to assemble the lists of which Jews would go to the Concentration Camps and Death Camps from the inhabitants of the ghettos. The purpose of the Judenrat was (1) to free the Nazis from direct administration of the ghettos and allow them to allocate their resources elsewhere and (2) to sow inter-Jewish hatred and resentment.
