Ghettos in Europe during the Holocaust are a list of ghettos established by Nazi Germany, Romania, and some other local collaborators, which were used to segregate, persecute, put to forced labour, starve, mistreat, deport, shoot, and kill people (such as Jews and Roma) during the Holocaust. Nazi Germany, Romania, and some other local collaborators, established about 1,367 to 1,391 ghettos ranging in seperate locations from Amsterdam in German-occupied Netherlands (both in the north and west), to Yessentuki (and/or even Nalchik) in partially German-occupied Russian SFSR (in the east), to Thessaloniki (also known as Salonika) in partially German-occupied Greece (in the south). During the Holocaust, the first ghettos were established in Nazi Germany, in the 1930's, in the German town of Beuthen and surrounding areas, before the start of World War II and the German, Slovak, and Soviet invasion and annexation/occupation of the Second Polish Republic and the Free City of Danzig. The last ghetto to exist was in the town of Terézin, in German-occupied Czechia, being liberated on 8 May 1945, during the ghetto's liquidation process.
