Warsaw Ghetto Walls

On October 2, 1940, the Warsaw ghetto was formally established. Six weeks later, on

November 15, the ghetto was sealed with walls, as shown in this 1941 photograph.

"Ghettoization" restricted the rights of Jews, created deplorable living conditions, and

clustered Jews into condensed areas facilitating the eventual deportations to

extermination camps.
