Warsaw Ghetto - The largest ghetto in Poland

 

Warsaw Ghetto Uprising    January-May 1943

 

 

On October 12, 1940,

the Germans decreed

the establishment of a ghetto

in Warsaw.

 

The decree required

all Jewish residents of Warsaw

to move into a designated area,

which German authorities sealed off

from the rest of the city

in November 1940.

 

The ghetto

was enclosed by a wall

that was over 10 feet high,

topped with barbed wire,

and closely guarded

to prevent movement

between the ghetto

and the rest of Warsaw.

 

The population

of the ghetto,

increased by Jews

compelled to move in

from nearby towns,

was estimated to be

over 400,000 Jews.

 

German authorities

forced ghetto residents

to live in an area

of 1.3 square miles,

with an average

of 7.2 persons

per room.
