So that the Jews would be the ones responsible for administering the ghettos.
Adam Czerniaków
The judenrats had to keep an eye over the Jews in the area they kept on, then they made them stay away from running from ghetto and let them some food and medicine when needed.
Every Nazi ghetto for Jews had a "Jewish council" ("Judenrat"). These were responsible for the day-to-day running of the ghettos and were appointed by Nazis. One of the initial attractions of this was that the Jewish council was in charge of policing the ghetto, which was preferable to being policed by the SS. However, the Jewish council was also in charge of food distribution, which sometimes led to violence ... Later, the Jewish councils were ordered to supply the Nazis with lists of people for deportation ... A few Jewish councils were very brave (Lemberg, for example), some found themselves collaborating, and most were somewhere in between these two extremes.
The answer is... Jews marrying non-jewish Germans.
On the front lines the Germans may have destroyed homes, but in the main Germans stole Jewish homes (and businesses) and used them for themselves.
The Judenrat answered to the German occupation authorities - in practice usually to the SS. (These 'Jewish Councils' were nominated by the Germans and were not elected).

it was not ironic, it was a method of getting the Jews to do the 'dirty work'.

If you are referring to the Judenraete during the Holocaust, Jews were required to register by German Law. Failure to register with the Judenrat was punishable by death. Other than that, there is no "Council of Jews" as some nebulous term for a Jewish International Organization. Jews do not have any international database or organization in which conscription is necessary.
