Many Jewish people died in their ghetto due to living in small quarters of their hometown and being exposed to disease.

Due to the Nazi takeover, many cities in Germany and the surrounding countries would set up a ghetto or two in order for the Nazis to have better control over the Jewish citizens.

After being sent to the ghetto, many Jewish families received little food because they were located in the city with very little access to farmland.

During the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto, several hundreds of Jews revolted against their Nazi leaders who ruled over them to escape to another part of the city.

Museums display images of life for the Jewish people living in a ghetto by showing several Jewish families being forced to live in a small apartment.
