The correct answer is: **They were holding centers where Jewish people lived until they were sent to concentration camps.**

During the Holocaust, ghettos were established by the Nazis as designated districts where Jews were forcibly confined. These overcrowded and unsanitary areas were meant to segregate Jews from the rest of the population, and many individuals living in these ghettos faced extreme deprivation, starvation, and disease. Eventually, many inhabitants of the ghettos were deported to concentration camps, where they often faced further brutal conditions and extermination.
