Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Poland
Encyclopedia
This article presents a list of locations where the Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Poland were established during World War II
. The ghetto
system had been imposed by Nazi Germany
roughly between October 1939 and July 1942 in order to confine Poland
's Jewish population
of 3.5 million for the purpose of persecution, terror, and exploitation. In smaller towns, the ghettos often served as staging points for Jewish and mass deportations, while in the urban centers they resembled walled-off prison-islands described by some historians as little more than instruments of "slow, passive murder," with dead bodies littering the streets. In most cases, the large ghettos did not correspond to traditional Jewish neighborhoods. As a result, the displaced non-Jewish Poles and members of other ethnic groups were ordered to take up residence elsewhere. Smaller Jewish communities with populations under 500 were dissolved immediately following the invasion.
. The Nazi extermination program depended on death factories as much as on the effectiveness of their railways. Rail transport enabled the SS to run industrial-scale mass-extermination facilities and, at the same time, openly lie to their victims about the "resettlement" program. Jews were delivered to their deaths in cattle trucks from liquidated ghettos of all occupied cities, including Litzmannstadt, the last ghetto in Poland to be emptied in August 1944. In some larger ghettos there were armed resistance attempts
, such as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
, the Białystok Ghetto Uprising and the Łachwa Ghetto
uprising, but in every case they failed against the overwhelming German military force, and the remaining Jews were either executed or deported to the death camps. By the time Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe was liberated by the Red Army, not a single Jewish ghetto in Poland was left standing. Only about 50,000–120,000 Polish Jews survived the war on native soil with the assistance of their Polish neighbors
, a fraction of their prewar population of 3,500,000.
In total, according to USHMM archives, "The Germans established at least 1000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland
and the Soviet Union
alone." The list of locations of the Jewish ghettos within the borders of pre-war
and post-war Poland
is compiled with the understanding that their inhabitants were either of Polish nationality from before the invasion, or had strong historical ties
with Poland. Also, not all ghettos are listed here due to their transient nature. Permanent ghettos were created only in settlements with rail connections, because the food aid (paid by the Jews themselves) was completely dependant on the Germans, making even the potato-peels a hot commodity. Throughout 1940 and 1941, most ghettos were sealed off from the outside, walled off or enclosed with barbed wire, and many Jews found leaving them were shot. The Warsaw Ghetto
was the largest ghetto in all of Nazi occupied Europe, with over 400,000 Jews crammed into an area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km²), or 7.2 persons per room. The Łódź Ghetto was the second largest, holding about 160,000 inmates. In documents and signage, the Nazis usually referred to the ghettos they created as Jüdischer Wohnbezirk or Wohngebiet der Juden, meaning "Jewish Quarter
". By the end of 1941, most Polish Jews were already ghettoized, even though the Germans knew that the system was unsustainable; most inmates had no chance of earning their own keep, and no savings left to pay the SS for further deliveries. The quagmire was resolved at the Wannsee conference
of 20 January 1942 near Berlin
, where the "Final Solution
" (die Endlösung der Judenfrage) was set in place.
were confiscated as either Nazi zones of occupation (i.e. Bezirk Bialystok
, Provinz Ostpreußen, Reichskommissariat Ostland
, etc.), or Soviet brand-new extensions to the two fledging western republics
(i.e. West Belarus
), soon overrun again in Operation Barbarossa
. The Soviet Ukraine and Byelorussia witnessed the genocide of Poles just prior to invasion, resulting in their absence along the pre-war border with Poland since the Great Terror.
