No, they didn't invent the ghetto, but they did force the Jews in all occupied territories into ghettos. The origin of the word goes back to Italy in the 1600s. It referred until recently to areas where Jews were forced to live in some European cities until about 1830. More recently the term has been extended to refer to any district where a minority population is concentrated, particularly if they are there due to social, economic or political pressures.

What are facts about Warsaw Ghetto?

It was the largest ghetto. Though it was a 'closed' ghetto there were many routes which a person could take to enter and exit without being caught. The leader of the ghetto killed himself when he realsied that the inhabitants would be exterminated. The ghetto made a profit (for the Germans). Some ghetto inhabitants employed servants for quite some time after entering the ghetto.
