In April 1944, Hungarian authorities ordered Hungarian Jews living outside Budapest (roughly 500,000) to concentrate in certain cities, usually regional government seats. Hungarian gendarmes were sent into the rural regions to round up the Jews and dispatch them to the cities. The urban areas in which the Jews were forced to concentrate were enclosed and referred to as ghettos. Sometimes the ghettos encompassed the area of a former Jewish neighborhood. In other cases the ghetto was merely a single building, such as a factory.
Putting Jews into ghettos was not a new concept. It was not that they were unconcerned, it was that they had no choice.
In Elie Wiesel's "Night," two ghettos were established in Sighet as part of the Nazi regime's systematic plan to isolate and control the Jewish population. These ghettos served as a means to segregate Jews from the rest of the community, stripping them of their rights and freedoms while preparing them for deportation to concentration camps. The creation of the ghettos marked the beginning of increasingly harsh measures against the Jewish inhabitants, ultimately leading to their tragic fate during the Holocaust.
Yes
basically as soon as the Germans occupied a country, they would put the Jews into ghettos.
There are always Jews who celebrate Passover regardless of the location or circumstances. Jews celebrated Passover in the ghettos, and then in the concentration camps.
The plans were to to deport the Jews from the Ghettos to the small Ghetto then the cattle cars.
The Jews of Sighet are first taken by the Germans to local ghettos after their arrival.
There were two ghettos in Sighet (in Night).

Indeed. Jews were in ghettos.
The Jews of Sighet were not able to hold gold or jewlrey in their houses.They were not allowed to leave their houses for 3 days.They had to wear a yellow star.They were no longer to go into resturants or cafes, travel on the railway or attend synagogue.Jews couldn't go out into the street after 6 o'clock.
Jews did not agree to be police in the ghettos, they were made to!
Yes
Ghettos were the places they kept the Jews. The ghettos were isolated, enclosed communities that the Germans kept the Jews in. Ghettos were where the Jews were forced to live, under horrible conditions.
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.
The deportation of the foreign Jews and the warnings by Moshe the Beadle. The community didn't believe they were in danger because they didn't want believe it and doubted anything would happen to them. It was a case of blind optimism. Soon, the Sighet Jews were sent to the ghettos and stripped of their rights gradually, before they're sent to the concentration camps. The community didn't see it coming because of their foolish optimism.
