In the ghetto the Jewish created their small government within the ghetto to keep order within the premier of the ghetto. "A Jewish Council was appointed, as well as a Jewish police force, a welfare agency, a Labor community, a health agency-a whole governmental apparatus." (Page 12). The Jewish people have no fear of the situation of being put in a ghetto by the German soldiers. Around the town two ghettos were made for housing the Jewish population: one

Jewish families lived in very small rooms and didn’t have many things of their belongs since the germans just gave them a few minutes to get what they wanted. The ghettos were so bad that the Jews had to throw their own waste

Throughout various European countries, Jews were given laws, which forced them to live in specific areas of the towns known as the ‘ghettos’. To identify the Jews, they were required to wear a distinctive emblem such as a badge or a hat. Jews were also forbidden to own land, which therefore led to the disadvantage of supporting their families. As they were not allowed to own land, the Church forbade the Jews to loan money for profit, which led to struggling with money. Once the Jews became linked to the trade or moneylending, the stereotyping against the Jews arose around them and they were known as ‘money-hungry’ and

By the year 1000 B.C.E the Jews had founded Israel as their national state (“Jews”). They actively practiced a very distinctive religion, Judaism. Israel was conquered several times and eventually came under the rule of the Roman Empire (“Jews”). During this time, Jews were legal citizens of the Empire. However, the Jews and Christians diverged quickly; the Jews were marginalized for being different and strange. They rejected the belief that Jesus is the Messiah and other christian laws. Eventually the Jewish revolt in 135 C.E. drove the Jews out of Jerusalem (“Jews”). They then lived throughout the Roman Empire and the materializing medieval states. They lived in their own communities called ghettos because they were not allowed to own land

The first place the Jews were sent, as stated by the Nazi’s “Final Solution”, were the ghettos. Ghettos during the Holocaust were located in small German cities. Jews were isolated from the rest of society as they spent endless days

The ghettos were streets where Jewish people lived. The three main ghettos were Lodz, Warsaw, and Theresienstadt. It had horrible living conditions. They were non-sanitary, bad electricity, extremely crowded, and there was not enough food. Contagious diseases spread rapidly due to all of these bad conditions. Everyday children became orphaned, and many had to take care of younger

The groups of Jews known as "Ashkenazim" technically refers to Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the Rhineland Valley, encompassing most of modern-day Germany and part of northern France. Though literally translated as "German Jews," the term today is defined much more broadly, and includes Jews descended from European communities such as Poland, Lithuania, and Russia. (Jews with Spanish, Portuguese, African, or Middle Eastern ancestry are considered Sephardim. Similar to "Ashkenazi," the term "Sephardic" has become much more loosely defined over the centuries.)

Life in the ghetto was subjected to death. Many took their own lives, and others tried to escape.

In medieval Spain, Christians, Jews, and Muslims coexisted with little to no problems. During power swings from Muslims to Christians, Jews often served as a middle man between the two. They ended up in their own communities under their own rule free to do whatever they like. In these communities, there was the normal distribution of wealthy and poor, with most being commoners, but some Jews acquiring jobs from Lords such as tax and tithing collection. During this period, the

The Lower East Side was a cornucopia of Jews from various parts of the world.

Over the course of history, Jews that called the Iberian Peninsula home suffered adversity at the hand of the Spanish inquisition that fueled Sephardic diaspora. The adversity forced the Iberian Jews to form their identity as Sephardic Jews. Identity is a distinct and unique features that one believes to be; it can be race, culture, religion and sexual orientation. There are different aspects and circumstances in forming an identity. When it came to the Iberian Jews, the misfortune they had faced forced them to keep their internal beliefs and religion customs in secrecy, even with the consequences that came with it. They strived to maintain ethnic identity to keep their identity even when discrimination and hatred was at it’s worst. The Iberian

The country of Poland in central Europe has a long history with the Jewish people. Jewish history in Poland dates all of the way back to the tenth century when Jewish immigrants first arrived. They immigrated from countries such as Germany, Romania, and the Byzantine Empire. Many of the Jewish immigrants were tradesmen, merchants, and small business owners. They also introduced their own language called Yiddish to Poland. Many Jews came to “Poland in the Middle Ages to escape persecution during the crusades” (Crowe 69). Jews came to Poland because they were more accepted in Poland than anywhere else. According to Crowe, in 1264 Prince Boleslaw the Pius issued “the Statute of Kalisz” (69). This statute put the Jews under the Prince's protection
