• Ghettos and Forced Labor Camps
• Gas Chamber Use Begins
• The Final Solution

20
Jews Are Gathered Into Ghettos
21
Ghettos Are Used to Segregate Jews Into Parts of
the City
22
All Jews would live here, sometimes with three or
four families in one apartment
Food was scarce as well as medicine and clothing.
23
Jews were used in forced labor factories to
produce for the Nazis.
24
Once ghettos would get too full, Jews would be
deported to other work camps.
25
Deportation to Various Concentration Camps
26
Most camps are run in the same order
Prisoners arrive by Cattle Car
27
Once they arrived, they would be separate men
from the women and children
28
Or, they would be separated because they couldnt
work.
29
Prisoners were forced to undress and hand over
personal belongings.
30
Unfortunately, even those who were killed were
robbed of their belongings. Even wedding rings.
31
These belongings were stored for the Nazis to use.
32
Prisoners were then shaved (all camps) and
tattooed (in most).
33
Prisoners were then led to shower rooms, which
were either really showers or gas chambers made
to look like showers.
