The Krakow Ghetto in southern Poland.
The Warsaw ghetto was the largest ghetto established in Poland. the total of Jews that can be crowded in is about 450,000 Jews. They were crowded into an area of 1.4 square miles that was the Warsaw ghetto.
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.
The place where the Jews lived in Poland (and other countries like Russia) was called a GHETTO. Each ghetto had a name too. Watch the move Defiance if you want to get a good idea about ghettos.
decrible jews ghetto
Uncomfortable, they either spent their last months in a ghetto, or in a concentration camp.
Poland -- Between December 1939 and February 1940 the Lodz ghetto was established in Stare Miasto (Old Town), Baluty, the poor Jewish quarter, and the suburban area of Marysin. By September 1942, all Jews from the Warthegau (German expression for the annexed Western part of Poland) had been either murdered or expelled, apart from the 77,000 Jews remaining in Lodz. Consequently the extermination facilities in Chelmno were closed and the deportations from the Lodz ghetto ceased. For 19 months, until May 1944, the ghetto was turned into a labour camp: 90% of the Jews worked in the ghetto factories.

German occupation authorities established the first ghetto in Poland in Piotrków Trybunalski in October 1939.
poice insured that Jews did not leave the confines of the ghetto
In towns in Nazi-occupied Poland and some other countries, an area was designated as the ghetto. All Jews were ordered into that area by a certain date, and all new-Jews were ordered to leave. The ghetto was enclosed by high walls and the perimeter was patrolled. Some Jews in big cities knew that the ghetto was a death-trap and fled if they could. On the whole, though, the Jews did as they were told.
It wasn't only for Jews.
