Certainly. It depends on the ghetto, but several ghettos, especially the Warsaw Ghetto erupted in violence in response the Nazi deportations to the Concentration Camps.

Ghettos are dating back to 15th centuries and Europe. They definitely weren't what they are today, but they were like isolated neighbourhoods. There were Jewish ghettos, where Jewish traders lived and worked, all kinds of them. They didn't start as scary black neighbourhoods, but as normal parts of cities.
The Germans did not govern the ghettos primarily to maintain a facade of administrative control while simultaneously dehumanizing the Jewish population. By placing Jewish councils (Judenräte) in charge, the Nazis could shift responsibility for the harsh conditions and management of the ghettos onto the Jewish leaders themselves. This strategy not only facilitated the implementation of oppressive measures but also aimed to weaken Jewish solidarity and resistance by creating internal divisions. Ultimately, it allowed the Nazis to distance themselves from the atrocities committed within the ghettos.
