When the Lodz Ghetto was sealed off in May 1940 it had 164,000 Jews. As they died more were brought in ... but the figure fluctuated.
An important textile center that is the second largest city in Poland is Lodz. Lodz is located in Central Poland and once held one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe until Hitler took over.
A bit over sixty thousand.
Hitler did not take Jews to the ghettos, he took them out of the ghettos and put them into concentration camps to be degraded, abused, tortured, and killed. It was a very ugly chapter of human history, none uglier. Hitler had chosen a strategy of ethnic selfishness. He wanted his own group, which he called the Aryan supermen (Ubermensch in German) to own everything and to enslave or kill the members of other ethnic groups. Jews were a convenient group to victimize because Europe already had a thousand year history of anti-Semitism, and Jews were widely hated for the crime of not being Christians. Hitler blamed Jews for all of Germany's problems, and many Germans were only too happy to agree with him.

In the German-held occupation territories in World War Two, especially in Poland, ghettos were formed in the cities. A ghetto was a closed and guarded neighborhood within the city, into which the Jews were forcefully relocated and registered. These neighborhoods or "ghettos" were basically an urban form of a prison in which Jews were disallowed free movement, commerce or basic civil rights. The ghettos were severely overcrowded and lacked in basic supplies and services that people need. They were intended by the German occupation forces as a place to warehouse a very large number of Jewish people until they got around to making "selektions" or "aktions"on the town squares, in which large numbers of Jewish people were mandatorily chosen for liquidation, and forced onto railcars bound for the death camps that were set up by the Germans. Or murdered on-site, in the case of "aktions." Probably the largest and most famous ghetto was in Warsaw, Poland.
