Jewish ghettos originated long ago, as early as the 1400's. Generally, Europeans were Christian and anti-Semitic, so the Jews lived in their own communities/ghettos as a result of discrimination and for their safety. During World War II, the Nazis took the Jews from their homes and placed them in ghettos, the most famous of which being the Warsaw ghetto, in Poland. The Jews were told to appoint leaders of the community. Many leaders of the various ghettos refused to give Nazis lists when they learned these lists were being used to send Jews to death camps. While living in ghettos, the Jews were isolated and often had limited resources (though items were smuggled).
