What the ghettos were like

• All of the Jewish people of Warsaw were forced to move to the ghettos.
• Their were three types of ghettos: open, closed and destruction ghettos.
• The ghetto consisted of a big 10 foot wall surrounding the ghetto.
• It had a population of 400,000 Jews and only had 1.3 square miles.

Daily Life in the GhettosThe official food ration of around 200 calories a day per person was less than 10 percent of the ration for Germans.
The Germans didn't hesitate to kill Jewish policemen who were perceived to have failed to carry out orders. Daily life in the ghettos was administered by Nazi-appointed Jewish councils (Judenraete). A ghetto police force enforced the orders of the German authorities and the ordinances of the Jewish councils, including the facilitation of deportations to killing centers.
