Jayvon Levy · Answer 1

The purpose of the ghetto was that it was the public face of the Nazi ghettos and was accessible to the Red Cross; it was also a transport site for both Eastern ghettos and extermination camps.

Explanation:

The Thierenstadt ghetto was installed to primarily keep the elderly and prominent Jews and led into he final solution camps where the exterminations were happening.

In this ghetto extermination happened indirectly as the environment was made conducive for the death of the old people to live there.

It was accessible to journalists and the Red Cross and served as the distraction to the true horrors of what was happening in the concentration camps.

This was a sort of a public ruse but served as a camp too.
