Ghettos were very much effective during the time period of the Holocaust because of the harsh living conditions within them. With this in mind, ghettos spread disease and forced so many Jews into them that almost all ghettos suffered from mass overcrowding. The first ghetto was created in Poland in the year of 1939 and German officials put into place at least 1,000 ghettos in the German occupied Poland and Soviet Union territories.

color-coded, and the D-rated ones—shunned for their ‘inharmonious’ racial groups— were typically outlined in red.” By not lending to Blacks, the Government-sponsored companies created the idea of the “black ghetto” and “white suburbia.” Riddled with drugs, crime, and poverty, the idea of the “black ghetto” strengthens the claim that Black people are inferior because the neighborhoods where they live are dilapidated and dangerous.

killed with poison gas. The concentration camps were horrible places" ("World War Il: The Holocaust" 2). Before the Jews were taken to concentration camps, and after the Nazis had taken over a city, "most Jews were first concentrated in ghettos" (Lace 18).

July 22, 1942 is the date. Exactly one year and one month ago today, I, Abby Sheridan, along with my family and the rest of the Jews, was forced to move to this place the Germans call a “ghetto.” Sometimes life in the ghetto can be pretty decent when we get an extra slice of bread or if my friends and family are in good spirits.

When you grow up in the ghetto, sometimes committing a crime is a part of an economic opportunity because much income isn’t coming into a person’s household.

Born and raised in a ghetto-like neighborhood, I lived my childhood in the most dangerous part in the city. Very few of us could strive from that situation and managed as a functioning member of society, whilst the rest of the neighbors’ kids either ended up dead or in jail due to the serious crimes committed. Entering the first day at school in elementary school, I was equipped with one notebook and a pencil. My parents could not afford to buy more than those two items. When the whole pages of…
