Answer:

Jews in ghettos lived in cramped and overcrowded conditions, often in poverty; many were employed in factories or small workshops. They were subjected to strict regulations enforced by the Gestapo and were regularly attacked by Nazis. People in the ghettos were generally malnourished and lacked adequate healthcare, which resulted in a high mortality rate.

Jews in concentration camps were usually subject to inhumane treatment and slave labor. Many were forced to do hard physical labor for long hours, with little to no food or rest. Jews in concentration camps were also subjected to medical experiments and brutal punishments.

In extermination camps, Jews were immediately separated upon arrival and sent to gas chambers. People in these camps were subjected to horrific and inhumane treatment

1. Nazi Germany systematically rounded up Jews and forced them into ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps
