Best Answer

The ghettos are important to understanding the Holocaust because the death camps weren't the whole story. A lot of people died in the ghettos as they were cut off from everything else and starved of necessities. It was a similar dehumanization that brought out the worst, and occasionally the best, in people.

the ghettos were made to localize the Jews, it wasn't the final solution, witch was extermination, but it separated the Jews from the Arians (Germans). it was a way to strip the Jews of their rights, because they couldn't come or go as they pleased. there were ALOT of people forced to live in small areas.

The role of the formation of the ghettos was to just house the Jews so they would be protected from the elements of the earth. they were not built for comfort or for the Jews pleasure.
