What is the diffrence between a jewish ghetto and a nazi ghetto?

The term "Nazi ghetto" is misleading. Nazis were not placed in a ghetto, but rather this is a term to refer to the "ghettos for Jews built by the Nazis" in comparison to the historic Jewish ghettos throughout Europe.One of the fundamental differences between Jewish ghettos prior to the 19th century and those instituted by the Nazis was the size. The Nazi ghettos were larger in physical area, but denser in terms of population (because Jews from the countryside were pushed into the city ghettos).A more noticeable difference was that the Nazi ghettos were completely sealed off from the rest of the city. While historic ghettos sometimes had curfews, during the day Jews could usually leave, do business, and generally interact with Non-Jews. Since the point of the Nazi ghettos was to quarantine the Jews from the rest of the population, they were unable to ever leave the ghetto. Concrete Walls and fences were erected in order to lock the Jews in and these were monitored by Nazi German soldiers.Another difference was the leadership structure of the ghetto. The historic ghettos were given license by the Christian Kings to self-organize as long as they paid taxes and punished crimes perpetrated against Christians. This meant that the Kahal (Board of Trustees of the Jewish Community) made laws and helped organize the area. In the Nazi ghettos, the Nazis created a mockery of the Kahal called the Judenrat which was a council of Jews responsible for implementing Nazi policy within the ghetto and submitting lists of names for deportation to the Death Camps. The lack of Jewish autonomy and set up for the Holocaust are also key differences.
