Every Nazi ghetto for Jews had a "Jewish council" ("Judenrat"). These were responsible for the day-to-day running of the ghettos and were appointed by Nazis. One of the initial attractions of this was that the Jewish council was in charge of policing the ghetto, which was preferable to being policed by the SS. However, the Jewish council was also in charge of food distribution, which sometimes led to violence ... Later, the Jewish councils were ordered to supply the Nazis with lists of people for deportation ... A few Jewish councils were very brave (Lemberg, for example), some found themselves collaborating, and most were somewhere in between these two extremes.
