A Jewish Ghetto

The scene lets students explore a typical German-occupied built-up area during the Nazi regime. The scene shows a transition from an area exclusive to the German population to an area where the
Jewish community lived, worked, and traded with their independent businesses. From the Jewish location, students will observe how the Jewish communities were targeted with Nazi propaganda, isolated from the main areas, and how they were eventually forced and crammed into small areas that were referred to as the ghettos – run-down, poorly sanitised areas controlled by the Nazis.
