What were Jewish ghettos in Venice like?
The Venetian Ghetto, which is actually where the term comes from, is emblematic of ghettos worked. The areas where Jews were allowed to live were walled off from the rest of Canareggio district in Venice. There were height restrictions on buildings as well, leading to general overcrowding and lack of sanitation. These ghettos were ruled autonomously by two major community pillars: the Rabbis at the Beit Din or Courthouse and the Kahal or Board of Trustees.
The Rabbi and Beit Din (which would have several Rabbis serving as judges) would be the moral leadership of the community and would represent the community to the Gentile authorities as a singular leader. He was also the judge or arbitrator for legal disputes and religious disputes within the community. The Kahal was appointed by some of the wealthier Jewish families and was composed entirely of Jewish laity. Gentile Authorities permitted the Kahal to maintain law and order within the ghetto on a more practical level. Among the Kahal's duties was to collect taxes both on their own behalf (to maintain local police, feed the rabbi, etc.) and on behalf of the Gentile sovereign. The Kahal would then present a representative of the Gentile Sovereign, like a tax collector, the fees for the entire Jewish community.
What did Elie Wiesel do with his life after the Holocaust?
He did not return to Romania, which was well on the way to becoming Communist when he was well enough to leave Buchenwald. He was invited by French Jews, whom he had been with at Buchenwald, to go to France. His first priority was to complete his education. (He was 15 when deported to Auschwitz).
Elie Wiesel became a journalist and writer.
During the Holocaust, Jewish people weren't obviously told they were going to Concentration Camps. During that time, their was much propaganda which led to hatred towards Jews, the Jews weren't blind--they obviously knew they weren't well liked in Germany, however they had no clue they were going to be killed and send to these camps. I wouldn't so much say they were manipulated, they were more forced into these camps. Now I don't know if you maybe meant manipulated in a different way. But, I've studied the Holocaust for years, and I believe they were not manipulated; but they were told sometimes that they were going to different towns (not to Concentration Camps because Nazi's didn't want them to find out what will happen to them). Pretty much, during that time, all Jews were clueless to what was going on until they were brought to these camps, forced to work, then usually killed. It was a horrible thing.
