Explain the purpose of the ghettos?
In many towns and cities Jews in Europe were required by law to live in the ghetto. The main purpose of this was to keep them under supervision. When outside the ghetto they had to wear a yellow Star of David on their outermost clothing. In places where there was mob violence against Jews, the ghetto to some extent provided protection. When ghettos were dissolved from the late 1790s onwards, most Jews who could do so moved out. In many cases the boundaries of the ghettos hadn't been extended for centuries, and the places had become very crowded and had often become slums. When the Nazis reintroduced ghettos from 1939-41 onwards the aim was to keep the Jews under close supervision and to reduce the Jewish population by starvation and disease. They ghettos were also close to railway stations ...

Hitler tended to talk about providence. He may have had some belief in the supernatural, but there's much more to being a Christian than that. He may have talked about Christianity in order to keep the Catholics on his side. There are some mis-guided Chrisitians that belive in persecuting the Jews because they were responsible for the execution of Jesus Christ. Confusing, yes.

What was the gas called that they used for the gas chambers at the concentration camps?
Zyklon-B easily translated as Cyclone-B. it is not an amusement ride- it is a form of Cyanide and the (assault) model was made without the telltale gas warning odor- required by law in the pesticide model which would give a bad odor so the people would instinctively flee or turn off the valve if accidentally opened in , say a hardware store or shop. Cyclone B was Cyanide gas- the real thing and major Death Agent of the SS in the Concentration camps, Cyclone-A with safety features was a legitimate pesticide in much smaller concentrations.

It is the true story of how German industrialist Oskar Schindler saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during World War II by arranging to have them work in his factories. Steven Spielberg's 1993 film biography won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
The camps were built very quickly using disused building and the inmates' labour. The first permanent concentration camp, Dachau, was opened in March 1933 in an abandoned factory, less than two months after Hitler came to power. All the later camps were also built very quickly.
