What's the difference between a concentration camp and a ghetto?

I'm assuming you're doing some homework about the Holocaust.

Concentration camps are places where people would go. The military personnel in charge would sometimes make them do grueling jobs. Concentration camps had little to no food, the shelter was horrible, and overall people were treated like crap. The military would even kill people for fun in the concentration camps, when they were not being killed by starvation or being overworked.

In ghettos, it was a little better because they would live in little, cramped apartments and probably ate a little bit more than people who lived in the concentration camps would. But life in ghettos were still pretty intolerable. People in ghettos were free to go where they wanted to some places, while people in concentration camps were forced to stay in the same general area all day.

They both had barbed wire fences

Ok this is sad their is a big differance between ghettos and concentration camps in the camps you were going to die and had no choice about it ghettos were just what a person could aford which didn't look pretty or have enough room for a family but it was a shell of a shelter it served its purpose

A ghetto is like where people that were segregated because of religion, race, or whatever were forced to live and concentration camps is where imprisonment or confinement of a certain group without trial, and basically it's a labor and death camp.

Ghetto's were cities or districts of cities set up for jews by the nazi's, this is where they were kept until they could transport them to a concentration camp. They could sometimes be in them for days to weeks to months.

A ghetto was the neighborhood where some Jewish people hid and lived. The concentration camps were places where the Jewish people were killed.

A ghettos is traditionally the part of any city where Jews lived, e.g., the Marais in Paris.

Concentration camps are prisons.
