There were many indistrial jobs, such as tailors and seamstresses, cobblers and machinists, as the ghettos had to sell products to the SS in order to buy food.

There were also all kinds of normal jobs, doctors, nurses, teachers, firemen, policemen, waiters, shopkeepers and civil servants. The ghettos were micro-societies, almost every job which existed in a normal city existed in the ghettos.

In most of the Nazi ghettos contact with the outside world was usually very difficult or impossible.

To some extent the residents of the ghettos smuggled raw materials into the ghetto and made craft goods with them in small workshops, and then smuggled the finished products out again and exchanged them for food and further raw materials.

In the Lodz Ghetto the head of the Jewish Council, Rumkowski, did a deal with the Nazis: they agreed to work and, in return, received raw materials and food (but not much ...) At one stage the Lodz Ghetto had about 160,000 inhabitants and 117 workshops. Lodz was a major centre in the textile industry and it is said that among other things, the Lodz Ghetto produced uniforms for the Nazis. Obviously, this is a rather delicate subject.

the Jews didn't do anywork in the ghettos. The ghettos were where they lived when the Nazis exiled them in there own towns before taking them to the concentration camps.

the ghettos were a micro society, so almost all of the job that exist in any other society existed there. there were also 'cottage industries' from which they could sell their products.

Labour but most starved to death and done nothing

________________________

The ghettos, unlike the camps were a society akin to any town or village. There was a need for all types of worker, though there was little demand for plumbers or electricians, there were waiters, cooks, doctors, teachers and policemen, etc.

The ghettos also had industries that made goods for the German market. Most ghettos also had labour details that worked outside of the ghetto.

They had to do whatever work was assigned to them. This included ushering people into the ghettos, guarding, giving out food, making clothes, etc.

Many of them would sit around in some camps and in other camps the Nazi's would have them work in fields and move rubble from one place to another.
