Answer:
The German concept of Lebensraum (German pronunciation: ( listen), 'living space') comprises policies and practices of settler colonialism which proliferated in Germany from the 1890s to the 1940s.
So desirables were the Germans who had blue eyes, blonde hair and were physically strong and capable. The german kids were allowed to continue going to school under the nazis where they taught them to hate Jews and worship Hitler. Whereas the undesirables were Jews and physically handicapped gypsies.
A ghetto, often the ghetto, is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure. Ghettos are often known for being more impoverished than other areas of the city.
