What is the difference between a Jewish ghetto and a Nazi ghetto?

∙ 15y ago
Traditional ghettos were seen as permanent places for Jews to live (separated from the rest of the population). The Nazis, on the other hand, saw the ghettos as temporary - as staging posts in the Final Solution.
The last 'traditional' Jewish ghetto - that in Rome - had been opened (liberated) in 1870. The Nazis reintroduced ghettos for Jews in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in 1939-41 and deliberately kept the food and water supplies inadequate.

∙ 15y agoIn the context of the Holocaust there is no difference. Both refer to Jewish districts set up by the Nazis and sealed off from the surrounding area. Jews from other places were moved to these ghettos. (The term Nazi ghettos is sometimes used in order to avoid confusion with earlier ghettos in Europe).

How was Krakow involved in the Holocaust?
Krakow is a major Polish city and came under Nazi rule in 1939. The city had a large Jewish population. In January 1941 the Krakow Jews were forced to live in a ghetto walled off from the rest of the city. Later, the inhabitants of the Krakow Ghetto were transported to Belzec, Plaszow and later to Auschwitz, which is only about 30 miles away. Oskar Schindler employed cheap labor from the Krakow Ghetto ... and this has made it particularly well known.

Where was a Jewish ghetto during World War 2?
In the Jewish diaspora, a Jewish quarter is the area of a city traditionally inhabited by Jews. Jewish quarters, like the Jewish ghettos in Europe, were often the outgrowths of segregated ghettos instituted by the surrounding Christian authorities or in World War Two, the Nazis. A Yiddish term for a Jewish quarter or neighborhood is "Di yiddishe gas" (Yiddish: די ייִדדישע גאַס ), or "The Jewish street". Many European and Middle Eastern cities once had a historical Jewish quarter and some still have it.
What were judenrats during the Holocaust?
Judenrat is German for Jewish council. These were administrative bodies that the Germans required Jews to form in the occupied territories of Poland and the Soviet Union and also in some other areas.

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.

How many Nazi soldiers were assigned to The Warsaw Ghetto?
not many, there were not soldiers in the ghetto, unless they were sent on a task. There were Nazi guards on the gates, so it will be about a gross or two.
Who was in control of the ghettos?
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.
What do you call a Nazi that used to be a Jew?
Nazis were not Jews unles they hid the fact they were Jews. You cannot be "a former Jew". You are born a Hebrew/Jew through your mother's lineage.

They were called Judenräte which means Jewish Council (not rat). They acted as liaison between the Nazis and the ghetto or camp inmates.There was also the Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst or Jewish Order Police commonly called the Ghetto Police. This particular group were used by the Nazis to help with the deportations. The Order Police were terrifying and brutal.There were some Jewish Kapos - supervisors - in the camps. They were roundly despised and feared for their brutality.In the Polish Ghetto there was also what was referred to as Group 13 or the Jewish Gestapo. Not only did they help organise the Ghetto, they helped maintain a spy network within the Ghetto, policed it, were involved in the black market. They willingly collaborated with the Nazis for power.

What are the differences between the Nazi symbol and the Buddhist symbol?
The Nazi symbol, the swastika, is associated with hate, violence, and racism due to its adoption by the Nazi party during World War II. In contrast, the Buddhist symbol, also a swastika but facing the opposite direction, represents well-being, good fortune, and the cycle of life in Buddhist traditions. The key difference lies in the historical and cultural contexts in which these symbols are used.
