When that stopped working and the other countries didn't let them immigrate anymore, he used Ghettos. Ghettos were sealed off areas where the Nazis hoped they would starve or die from disease. Lastly is concentration camps and extermination camps, Auschwitz being the biggest and most famous. The difference is that a concentration camp was where they were forced to do labor and Hitler hoped that the conditions of the camps would speed up the killings. While an extermination camp was where you would be taken to get killed instead of working and dying from starvation or disease.
