Warsaw Ghetto, Jewish district in Warsaw, Poland

The ghetto covered 840 acres of Warsaw's old Jewish quarter, enclosed by a brick wall 10 feet high and 11 miles long.

Between July and September 1942, German forces deported 265,000 Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp.

The underground archive known as Oneg Shabbat, led by Emanuel Ringelblum, documented daily experiences and conditions within the Warsaw Ghetto.

Living quarters in the ghetto contained an average of nine people per room, with food rations limited to 1,125 calories per person daily.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April 1943 marked the first mass rebellion against Nazi forces in occupied Europe.
