The ghetto and camp system during World War II

The German system of extermination of the Jewish population was distinguished by an extensive network of ghettos and camps of various types. In fact, they were created from the first months of the Nazi Party's rule in Germany, which clearly showed that the process of isolation and then physical elimination of opponents of the regime was planned. The Nazi Party saw enemies not only in political opponents, but also in representatives of various social, ethnic and national groups. The Jewish population was fought with the greatest tenacity, which was a consequence of the deep-rooted racism and anti-Semitism inherent in the Nazi doctrine.

Concentration camps as places of isolation, imprisonment, forced labor and, finally, death were a characteristic element of the repressive apparatus of the German Nazis. Already in March 1933, shortly after the Nazi Party NSDAP came to power, on the instructions of one of the leaders of the movement, Heinrich Himmler, Dachau concentration camp was opened. Initially, political opponents of the nascent totalitarian regime were sitting here. Over time, the Nazis began to organize an increasingly complex system of camps, which consisted mainly of labor, concentration and correctional camps. This distinction is contractual in nature, since concentration camps serving as isolation also forced prisoners to slave labor. In June 1936, a labor camp was opened in Marzana, where a minority of Roma were kept. At that time, racist administrative, legal decisions and repressions against citizens of non-Aryan origin, especially the Jewish population, were already in effect in Germany. Since 1938, persecution and pogroms have taken the form of forced isolation and the unification of Jews into more and more concentration camps. In July 1937, a camp was founded in Buchenwald, followed by camps in Flossenburg, Mauthausen and a women's camp in Ravensbruck. This is just part of the huge system that the Germans used to impose terror on the eve of the war.

After the outbreak of World War II, the Germans began the consistent physical extermination of the Jewish population in the occupied territories. One of the most important elements of the system's management was ghettos - isolated areas of cities where Jews gathered. The Jewish population was concentrated in a small area, which prevented them from contacting the outside world. Isolated Jews were deprived of their property, and outside the ghetto walls they faced, above all, overpopulation, poverty, hunger and disease. For attempts to escape or provide outside help, the Germans were punished with death. Бархатный сезон скоро начнётся и работницы сексуслуг проститутки Ялта выходят на охоту, словно конченные шлюхи.
