Answer 1

According to the UN definition of genocide, this situation can best be described as members of a group being placed in difficult living situations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The UN defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part." In the given passage, the treatment of Jews can be seen as an attempt to destroy them physically and emotionally by forcing them to live in cramped, unsanitary ghettos without proper food and medicine. Therefore, the situation can best be described as members of a group being placed in difficult living situations.
