ghetto. 1  a section of a city, especially a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships. ( 2 formerly, in most European countries) a section of a city in which all Jews were required to live.
Approximately 80 percent of all food that entered the ghetto arrived illegally. The ghettos in Nazi-occupied eastern Europe were established at the beginning of World War II, after the conquest of Poland in 1939, and the occupation of Soviet-annexed territories in June, 1941. There was no general directive to seal off the ghettos simultaneously. The first ghetto in occupied Poland-Piotrkow Trybunalski-was set up in the autumn of 1939. The Lodz ghetto, which at the time of its isolation from the outside world had 165,000 inhabitants, was formed in the spring of 1940. The Warsaw ghetto, the largest, which at its peak period contained 450,000 Jews, was sealed in November, 1940. The administrations of the various ghettos were not identical.
