ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps
The German soldiers were armed, the Jews were not. Moreover, the Jews had been subjected to malnourishment and persecution for a long time before they were forced on to the trains for the death camps.
Soon after invading Poland in 1939 the Nazis established ghettos - that is, walled-off designated Jewish area - in the larger Polish cities. The largest ghettos in Poland were those in Warsaw, Lublin, Lodz and Krakow. Jews from other parts of these cities and also from surrounding areas were transported to these ghettos, which became desperately overcrowded. The Jews were cut off from the outside world and were completely dependent on the Nazis for food. Many Jews died of malnutrition and disease in the ghettos. Later the surviving Jews were taken to death camps and gassed.
No. The Jews built, and paid for the walls.
They were evicted from their dwellings and told that they had housing in the ghettos. By 1941 any Jew not in a ghetto (or camp) in German controlled territory would most likely have been shot. (as that was easier than arranging transport to a ghetto, or camp)
to the south of Poland (those on the German side).
Thrown out of their jobs, rounded up, put into ghettos, deported, beaten and killed.
