Ghettoes 2. Named from Jewish quarter in Venice. 1. Originated in 1516. 2. Named from Jewish quarter in Venice. 3. Three types of ghettoes: closed ghettos(situated primarily in German-occupied Poland and the occupied Soviet Union) were closed off by walls, or by fences with barbed wire).open ghettos(had no walls or fences, but there were restrictions on entering and leaving). And destruction ghettos(were tightly sealed off and existed for between two and six weeks before the Germans and/or their collaborators deported or shot the Jewish population concentrated in them). 4. Germans took a movie on Jews and tell that how disgusting Jews are. ( Dead bodies are all over streets and each room only fit one family)

Funny? Exciting? Laughing? –Cruel Germans

Starved Jews Deposal Without food, Jews can only being starved all the time. Unfortunately, they died and Germans Buried them under mud.

How many? Too many? Not Enough! In total, the Nazis established 356 ghettos in Poland, the Soviet Union, the Baltic States, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Hungary between 1939 and 1945. There was no uniformity to these ghettos. The ghettos in small towns were generally not sealed off, which was often a temporary measure used until the residents could be sent to bigger ghettos.

Rescue of Jews

No Way! No more sacrifice! In 1943, in German-occupied Denmark, the Danish people find out that all 7,500 Danish Jews are about to be rounded up and deported to German concentration camps. Danish citizens spontaneously make their own decision: it's not going to happen!

They hided in Warsaw and got helped from Polish Civilians.

From all strata of Danish society and in all parts of the country, clergymen, civil servants, doctors, store owners, farmers, fishermen and teachers protected the Jews. A united Lutheran Church openly and persistently challenged the German offensive. Many Torahs from Rabbi Melchior’s synagogue were hidden a few blocks away in the crypt of Trinity Church. Dr. Koster, who was in charge of Bispebjerg Hospital, was instrumental in arranging for hundreds of Jews to be hidden at the hospital before they made their escape to Sweden. The psychiatric building and the nurses' quarters were filled with refugees, who were all fed from the hospital kitchen. Virtually the entire medical staff at the hospital cooperated to save Jewish lives. Once it became known among Danes what the hospital was doing, money was donated from all over the country
