Step-by-step explanation:

"In response, the Nazis segregated the Jews from the rest of the population, and ghettos were developed to forcibly detain them."

"As a result of their antisemitic ideology, following the invasion of Poland the Nazis developed ghettos to segregate and control Jews.

Historically, ghettos had been used to segregate Jewish communities from the rest of the population across Europe. The Nazi leadership, Wehrmacht soldiers, Einsatzgruppen followed the German Wehrmacht into occupied territories throughout the Second World War, where they conducted mass shootings of the Nazis ideological enemies. Approximately two million people were killed by the Einsatzgruppen over the course of the Second World War." rel="tooltip">Einsatzgruppen , SS , SD and various local authorities across Poland built on and adapted this historic idea.

The Nazis also introduced ghettos due to their false theories that Jews spread diseases and therefore should be segregated to protect the rest of the population. This was in line with their racist and eugenic beliefs."
