cities in territories that they controlled. • Jews living in these cities were forced out of their
homes and into the ghettos, which were crowded, lacked resources, and disease ridden. – Warsaw (Poland) ghetto was the largest w/ 400,000
people

Concentration Camps

– Up to 50% perished
• Over time, extermination camps were created, with the sole purpose of executing prisoners. – Prisoners were typically gassed, then cremated in
furnaces.
– Auschwitz (Poland) is the most well known example.
