Ghettoes Ghettoes were where Jewish people settled. Ghettoes were usually located some place less fortunate. No one was allowed to leave without a permit, and usually Jewish didn’t have one or they wouldn’t let them. Ghettoes was a bad environment for people to live, it was really hard to survive in a ghetto, because of starvation and sanitation. Thousands of Jewish people died because of how they were living, soldiers even bullied them when they saw Jewish people on the street. People that were healthy enough to work were enslaved as slaves, people tried so hard making ghettoes the life they had before. Jewish had to wear yellow stars on their clothing so the soldiers could see if they were Jewish or not. The only way to survive in a ghetto was to work. http://www.en.truthaboutcamps.eu/the-holocaust Biblography: Book Lawton, Clive. “Auschwitz”. Cambridge Massachusetts: Candlewick press, 2002. print
