Warsaw Ghetto
The Warsaw Ghetto (officialy called the Jüdischer Wohnbezirk in Warschau; which is obviously German for the Jewish Residential District in Warsaw; and also Warszawskie Getto, which is obviously Polish for: Warsaw Ghetto).), was a Nazi ghetto established in the city of Warsaw in the General Government. It was the largest ghetto established by the Nazi Germans, covering c. 36590400 square feet (c. 1.3125 square miles), in total. About 460,000 Jews were segregated and confined in the ghetto. The Warsaw Ghetto existed between 1940 and 1944/45. It was established in October 1940, but liquidated between 22 June 1942 and 16 May 1943, (it existed as a transit ghetto from 1943 to 1944/45) as with many other Nazi ghettos.
The Warsaw Ghetto is also known for it's heroic uprising, during it's liquidation between 19 April and 16 May 1943. Between 19 April and 16 May 1943, all of the ghetto's residents were deported to the camps of Treblinka and Majdanek, during the final liquidation of the Jews from Warsaw. Starting by October 1943 (or even earlier) the Warsaw Ghetto started to serve as a transit ghetto for Jews being deported from concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, and was still in existence by 31 March 1944. The ghetto's existence eventually ended in 1944 or 45. The Warsaw Ghetto is also known for it's systematic starvation, poverty, and homelessness of many residents.
