SS Guards, special killing groups were established to follow the German army and round up Jews and either kill them or send them to work or death camps. Many civilians participated in rounding up Jews and sometimes special incentives were given to those who reported or caught a Jew. Those who helped hide Jews were often afraid of the consequences of helping a Jew and many who did then turned them in, or did face terrible consequences themselves.

AnswerMany, if not most of the Jews, and other minorities or targeted groups (there were many), were rounded up by what only be called planned trickery. That is, a step at a time, requiring they identify themselves on their papers, then publicly (perhaps by wearing a yellow star of David), then requiring they be separated from others in society (also meaning they leave their own area of comfort), then moving them into one area - a ghetto - and then - another step time - while claiming you were relocating them one more time, moving them to death camps.

The people that did this were of many sorts, frequently the neighbors and supposed friends of those they were isolating...they were "hired" if you will, by being able to steal the goods of those they were casting out (frequently moving in to the hosues, with all the possesions still there the same day the Jew was sent away), as well as feeling good abput themselves that their problems would end because they were caused by those same people.
