Ghetto: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
built 628 days ago
Remember the tales of the Warsaw Ghetto in World War II, when Jews were split off from the wider society and forced into squalid camps? Or the American Civil Rights Movement, which campaigned for fair housing laws, hoping for blacks to break out of urban ghettos, to live where they chose? Many did so, others remained. That was the noun phase.

The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940. At this time, the population of the Ghetto was estimated to be 440,000 people, about 37% of the population of Warsaw. However, the size of the Ghetto was about 4.5% of the size of Warsaw. Nazis then closed off the Warsaw Ghetto from the outside world on November 16, 1940, building a wall with armed guards.
