No, a ghetto is not nearly as bad as a death camp. At a death camp, people would be deliberately starved, tortured, fenced in, and killed by their captors. A ghetto is bad, but it's not nearly as bad as a death camp. A ghetto is/was just a place where the people are impoverished and the crime rates are high. People are still oppressed and ill-treated and frequently hungry in ghettos, and it's sad, but they're not literally fenced in and aren't there for the sole purpose of being tortured or killed.

What was the resettlement program Hitler made Jews go to?

I presume that you mean the ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps. Ghettos were closed off portions of towns and cities, most famously the Warsaw Ghetto, where Jews were forced to live. The ghettos were gradually liquidated, and the Jews sent to concentration and death camps as quickly as the Germans could manage.


Did they go to the ghettos and then the death camps?

The concentration camps were being built all over Germany and many were already built but the raids on Jewish ghettos was common in rounding up Jews to be sent to concentration camps. There's no record of anyone being released from a death camp to return to a ghetto.
