In 8th grade this year we are learning about the Holocaust, and my topic for a research project was the “Ghetto Camps”, which (correct me if I’m wrong) were transit camps in which Jews were held and then taken to extermination or labour camps. So my question was what did captives in Ghetto camps do during the day, because if they worked, it would be a labour camp.
