Best Answer

The ghettos were communities for Jews, run by Jews, the Germans rarely entered. This was done for a few reasons; it meant that the measures and decrees that the Germans dictated to the ghettos had to be announced and implemented by the Jewish governing bodies (the Jewish councils) and any complaints or dissension had to be aimed at them. In order to not only deal with this, but to enforce normal Law and Order the ghettos had to have a police force.

Not only did Jews agree to become policemen, it was perhaps the most desirable job in the ghetto. It meant a job, which meant food for them and their families.

How was life in the ghettos for Jews?

Jewish ghettos originated long ago, as early as the 1400's. Generally, Europeans were Christian and anti-Semitic, so the Jews lived in their own communities/ghettos as a result of discrimination and for their safety. During World War II, the Nazis took the Jews from their homes and placed them in ghettos, the most famous of which being the Warsaw ghetto, in Poland. The Jews were told to appoint leaders of the community. Many leaders of the various ghettos refused to give Nazis lists when they learned these lists were being used to send Jews to death camps. While living in ghettos, the Jews were isolated and often had limited resources (though items were smuggled).

Why do you think Jews agreed to work as police in ghettos?

The ghettos were for the most part self governing and at the start they were not nearly as bad as they were a year later. At the start being part of the ghetto police was a good job, keeping order and was very sought after, the sons of the rich and powerful would get the jobs. As time progressed it was a way that one could ensure that they would have food, and be able to supply food to one's family.

How can you become ghetto?

In terms of the Nazi Ghettos which were used in World War 2, the Nazi ghettos (which were nearly all in Poland) was to gather Jews together, make them work for the Germans, and ulimately to kill them. They were in effect 'holding points' pending the last stage of the 'Final Solution'. The Ghettos were formed when the nazis coquerd poland and converted areas into conditons which accepted the nazis and they were called Ghettos.


Where did they kill Jews?

The question as written is extremely vague. Who is "they"? If the "they" refers to Nazi Germany, then: They killed Jews in death camps and in the streets of ghettos. The Jews were either gassed shot or work to death in death camps or in ghettos but they weren't gassed to death in ghettos. If "they" refers to the Spanish Inquisitors, Arab or Russian Pogroms, the Arab/Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, the Expulsion from Britain, among numerous others, the answer above does not apply. Each Anti-Semitic Murder event was perpetrated in a unique way and as a result, no proper answer can be given.
