So that there was a place to put the Jews.

∙ 12y agoBriefly:
Anti-semitism became a serious problem in places such as Russia, the Ukraine and Poland beginning in the late 1800s and Jews experienced continued outbreaks of persecution. They immigrated to other places in Europe. Judaism encouraged Jews to live in close proximity to other Jews and to their synagogues. However, they were free to come and go to other sections of towns as they pleased. Jews continued to live in particular areas of towns even when they weren't required to. These were often the worn down, decayed sections of towns and cities that were called ghettos. Not every town had a ghetto.
The Nazis commenced a slow, systematic persecution of the Jews that included forcing the Jews to remove themselves from villages and towns and other sections of larger cities and move into designated ghettos where they would form a concentrated community that could be controlled and exploited. The Jews no longer had freedom of movement. They were prisoners inside the ghettos.
Hitler's plan was to exterminate all Jewish people. The purpose of 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'.

What is the difference between a Jewish ghetto and a Nazi ghetto?
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.
