Abstract

This chapter depicts determining factors for the emergence of ghettos and camps for Jews (continuation of/break with prewar anti-Jewish policies and plans); addresses improvisation based on local/regional conditions/decisions, connections with efforts at “Germanization,” and exploitation; explains evolution over time and highlights patterns and diversity of Jewish confinement via select examples (e.g., big urban ghetto, small ephemeral ghetto, forced labor camp); and addresses the scope, functions, and consequences of violence via spatial segregation by Germans and their surrogates (Jewish councils, surrounding locals).
