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.
