Read the passage.

The Holocaust was the Nazi effort to destroy the Jewish people. At first Jews were forced wear yellow armbands. Then they lost their citizenship and were banned from public places. After that, Jews were forced to live in cramped, dirty ghettos with insufficient water and sanitation systems, where they were denied food and medicine.

According to the UN definition of genocide, this situation can best be described as members of a group

1. being separated from their families.

2. being prevented from having children.

3. having their children raised by other people.

4. being placed in difficult living situations.

Destiney Keith · Answer 1

The correct answer is 4.

The United Nations defines genocide as the following acts:

- killing members of a particular group,

- causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group,

- inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about destruction in whole or in part,

- transferring children of this group to another one.

As the Jews were forced to live in separated areas (ghettos), they were forcibly placed in difficult living situations that put their lives in danger and killed thousands of them.
