Where was the Jewish ghetto located?

Answer 1

Answer 1

In Medieval Europe and some parts of the Arab World, the Jews were required to live only within certain areas of cities. In Venice, in the district of Canareggio, there was a neighborhood called "Ghetto" which happened to be the one assigned to the Venetian Jews. Eventually, the name of this particular area took on the meaning of any such area in any city. Jews remained in the ghettos well into the modern period and were first released from the ghettos by Napoleon who decreed that Jews were French citizens and need not live in separate areas. However, many Jews remained in the ghettos as they had a certain Jewish character to them by that point.

During the Holocaust, the term ghetto takes on a slightly different meaning. They were basically (to the Nazis) community homes to store as many possible Jews in for each city. Although there were more than just one ghetto in each city, more Jews than the ghettos could hold were always put into these ghettos to await "Relocation." This "Relocation" was actually deportation to a death camp. But, ghettos were just somewhat large Jew and other inferior containment buildings.

Answer 2

A ghetto was an area in a town or city where Jews lived, in most cases because they were not allowed to live elsewhere. As they tended to be overcrowded and, in many areas, the Jewish inhabitants were restricted in the work they were permitted to do (leaving many very poor) ghettos tended to be squalid, disease-ridden places with very poor living conditions. They existed in various European cities between the Middle Ages right up until WW2, which saw the famous uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto - when the Nazis tried to clear the ghetto, the Jews inside put up an armed resistance and were successful in holding off the Nazis for a number of weeks. However, the Nazis finally took the ghetto due to their superior numbers and firepower and set about burning or bombing the buildings, rounding up anyone they could and shooting anyone who tried to flee. Most of those captured were then sent to Treblinka where the majority died.

Comment on Answer 2

The above is confusing and inaccurate because it conflates medieval, early modern and Nazi ghettos. By 1870 ghettos (as places where Jews had to live bylaw) had been abolished in Europe, but were reintroduced by the Nazis in 1939-41, then liquidated.

Answer 2

OK SO basically an elephant with its full-blown period goes and poops out a Jewish person. All the Jewish people that were pooped out usually go to the same place well known as Milwaukee but there not ewJish anymore just black. This would be called a Jewish ghetto. They are also very poor.

Answer 3

1. In the Middle Ages and well into early modern times, Jews were required by law in many parts of Europe to live in a designated area in towns, which was nicknamed a ghetto. It was isolated from the rest of the town or city, and usually Jews had to stay in the ghetto from nightfall till sunrise. (The ghetto was guarded at night). When outside the ghetto, they had to wear a distinctive badge on their outer clothing, usually two wheels or a yellow Star of David. Ghettos were particularly common in Italy. The last of these old ghettos was the one in Rome, which was not opened up till 1870(!). 2. During World War 2 the Nazis created ghettos in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Belarus. The Jews were herded into these small areas and denied adequate food and medicines. From late 1941 on the Jews were transported from these ghettos to death camps.

Answer 4

I can't give you exactly ten facts about the ghettos but I can tell you a little about them. Luckier Jews were sent there instead of concentration camps. They were formally actually ghettos that "pure" but poor Germans lived in. They were like ghettos today. Bad appliances and such. Jews had much more freedom because it was like an actual town. They lived in apartments with their families and had hospitals and bakeries. They were surrounded by fence and were actually not very far away from towns where other Germans who were'NT Jewish were living. A truck would drive through the streets every week or so, handing out bread. Guards were everywhere. The big difference and relief at the ghetto was that families were alowd to be with each other. Despite being in a ghetto, all those who couldn't work were taken away to the death camps. That mainly means the young, old, and weak. A very scary thing that they did sometimes was evacuate the hospitals suddenly. The newborn babies were thrown out windows and many were shot. To escape, a lot of the patients jumped from windows.

Hope you can find ten interesting facts out of this!!!!!!

Answer 5

Established in November 1940, it was surrounded by wall and contained nearly 500,000 Jews. About 45,000 Jews died there in 1941 alone, as a result of overcrowding, hard labor, lack of sanitation, insufficient food, starvation, and disease. During 1942, most of the ghetto residents were deported to Treblinka, leaving about 60,000 Jews in the ghetto. A revolt took place in April 1943 when the Germans, commanded by General Jürgen Stroop, attempted to raze the ghetto and deport the remaining inhabitants to Treblinka. The defense forces, commanded by Mordecai Anielewicz, included all Jewish political parties. The bitter fighting lasted twenty-eight days and ended with the destruction of the ghetto.
