I am assuming you are referring to the ghettos and concentration camps of the Holocaust.

The Jews were the victims of prejudice. They had NOT committed any crime. The leader of Germany at the time of the Holocaust, Adolph Hitler, scapegoated the Jews, among other racial and religious groups, for problems they did not cause. He sent them to live in ghettos, or isolated communities, that were poor and very dirty. Many Jews became ill and died.

He later moved to the Jews and other groups to concentration camps, where they were starved and made to do hard labor. They had no money or posessions in these camps. Sometimes Hitler's followers (Nazis) would, on his orders, conduct cruel, unnecesary and torturous experiments or medical procedures on those in the camps, such as exposing them to water at sub-zero temparatures, causing them to freeze to death.

In three words? To destroy them. Hitler's own words, in more than one writing or speech, were to "rid the world of the curse of International Jewry". That even made it into his last Will and Testament.

To cut them off from the outside world to keep them silent and to make them suffer. Also effective as a deterrent to those on the outside.

Because Hitler had convinced the masses that the Jews were to blame for all of Germany's problems, and designated them "enemies of the Reich".
