1. A ghetto was an enclosed (walled in) area where Jews had to live - by law. The first ghettos were established in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the Catholic Church ordered their creation (in the 1200s).
2. Ghettos were revived from 1939 onwards by the Nazis.
In the Holocaust, Jews were sent to ghettos by the Nazis. It was a horrible place where they were forced to work and only given limited amounts of food! Basically, a ghetto was a small town with a huge wall round it. All the Jews got sent there and it was packed full with sick and dying people. If the Jews look ill then they would not be fed and were left to die of starvation. Some Jews were lucky enough to escape and live today. Not many do but their relatives and other generations do.
3. In the 1960s the word was extended (figuratively) to run down inner city areas where Black Americans and others lived.

In the Ghetto was created in 1984-03.
It varied from one ghetto to another. Usually, the Nazis did not like the people in ghettos to have money that was valid outside the ghetto, as they regarded money as a potential source of power. The best known "ghetto money" was that produced by the Lodz ghetto and by Terezin (Theresienstadt). On entering the Lodz Ghetto, Jews had to swap their ordinary currency for ghetto currency, that could not be used outside the ghetto.
