Germans or the Nazis killed jews. Jews were sent to ghettos where which they were starved to death or put in gas chambers where they died.

The jewish also tried to keep their culture alive in ghettos by organizing secret schools, undeground newspapers, cultural institutions, celebrating holidays and rituals. They also kept documents of stories of many Jews that were in Warsaw so people would know what they went through.
