During the Holocaust, Jews in Germany were forced from their homes into overcrowded ghettos and concentration camps under Hitler's rule. As chancellor, Hitler established a dictatorship where he controlled citizens' lives and enacted racist, unconstitutional laws that legalized the imprisonment and torture of Jews. Rumors spread that Jews practiced blood libels and were bad for business, fueling antisemitism. Most Germans accepted the confinement of Jews in ghettos and camps and their treatment and mass murder by Nazis. Adolf Hitler led Germany at this time and had total power over the government and people as a racist dictator.

- 1. Vocabulary words! 1. ghettos 2. concentration camps 3. blood libel 4. chancellor ! The Holocaust was a very dangerous and confusing time for the Jewish people that called Germany home. They were taken from their homes, and put into ghettos, but the ghettos were not homes at all; they cut off their inhabitants from the city, along with the outside world.
