A ghetto was a district or street where Jews were required to live by law. It was usually separated from the surrounding area and Jews were not allowed out (unless they had special permission). By the way, that is the original meaning of the word ghetto. The meaning run down inner city area inhabited mainly by ethnic minorities is much more recent.
