The question is a bit vague. It was the home of Warsaw's Jewish population and when the Nazis decided to send them to the camps, they targetted the Ghetto.

How did ghettoization enable Warsaw Jews to organize?

The Warsaw Ghetto was run (as other ghettos were,) by councils from the ghetto population. Though the ghetto was free to chose who would be part of these councils, the Germans would liquidate one or all members if they were resistant to German orders. The councils have been the subject of controversy and will always will be as they collaborated with the Germans. The leader of the Warsaw Ghetto killed himself when he realised that he was collaborating, though his successors also had to do the same job, they did not manage to protect the Jewish population as well as he did. Any decrees or orders and criminal matters within the ghetto were expedited by the ghetto police, made up from the Jewish population, who were also responsible for ensuring that people got on the trains to their execution. Within the ghetto there was everything available, some richer Jews would still retain servants. Prices however would increase as time went on and people were reduced to selling everything for food. Eventually the only people who could afford to eat in restaurants were the people who ran the black market. There were many factories that people worked in, both inside and outside of the ghetto, though for poor wages and they were limited as to the number of people that they could employ, the factory owners though would never miss a meal. (the factories sold to the Germans). If a family did not have someone working in a factory then they would very quickly perish. There was a curfew to deter smuggling, but most guards could be bribed.

What is the Jewish ghetto?

Every city and sizable town in eastern Europe had a Jewish ghetto. This was the traditional part of town where the Jews had lived in those Christian nations. Not all the Jews still lived in that part of town anymore, necessarily, put just about all the people living in that part of town were Jews. In several cities, most famously in Warsaw, the Germans forced all Jews living in other parts of the city to move into the old ghetto, which soon became tremendously overcrowded. Fences and walls were built to enclose the ghetto, and the Jews were not allowed out, and the amount of food and medical supplies allowed in was insufficient to sustain the life of all in the Ghetto. Some smuggling and clandestine traffic in and out went on through the city sewer system. Streetcars still ran through the ghetto, but they did not stop as they transited the area, and nobody could get on or off. As Russian troops arrive on the far bank of the river across from Warsaw, the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto made a heroic uprising against the Germans, using the few inadequate weapons they had been able to obtain. They expected the Russians to come on across and soon liberate Warsaw, but the Russians waited six weeks on the far bank, as the Germans finally resorted to bringing in batteries of field artillery and air force bombers to batter the ghetto to rubble. Only after allowing the Germans time to do this did the Russians come on. For the entire Iron Curtain period of Soviet domination of eastern Europe, more than forty years after the war, it was not a good idea for a Pole to mention that he was one of the few surviving heroes of the Warsaw uprising. The Russians did not want any local heroes making leaders of themselves in the eyes of other Poles. The Russians had their own tame Poles, communists, who had spent years in Moscow before the war, carefully indoctrinated puppets and lap dogs for the Soviets, whom they intended to install as the new rulers of Poland, and that is exactly who ran Poland during the entire era of the Warsaw Pact.
