| | Ghetto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ghettos established by the Nazis in which Jews were confined, and later shipped to concentration camps. | | | In some cases, the ghetto was a Jewish quarter with a relatively affluent population (for instance the Jewish ghetto in Venice). | | | The authorities deported Jews from everywhere in Europe to the ghettos of the East, or directly to the extermination camps -- almost 300,000 people were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto alone to Treblinka over the course of 52 days. |

| | Budapest ghetto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Budapest ghetto was a ghetto where Jews were forced to live in Budapest, Hungary during the Second World War. | | | More than half of those that were forced into the ghetto in 1944 were sent to concentration camps, starting almost immediately from the establishment of the ghetto. | | | As with other ghettos that had been set up in other parts of Nazi-occupied Europe the area was completely cut off from the outside world: no food was allowed in, rubbish and waste were not collected and the buildings were overcrowded, leading to the spread of diseases such as typhoid. |

| | Ghettos |
| | Daily life in the ghettos was administered by Nazi-appointed Jewish councils (Judenraete) and Jewish police, whom the Germans forced to maintain order inside the ghetto and to facilitate deportations to the extermination camps. | | | Ghettos isolated Jews by separating Jewish communities from the non-Jewish population and from neighboring Jewish communities. | | | A smaller number of Jews were deported from ghettos to forced-labor camps and concentration camps. |

| | Jews who did not have protective papers issued by a neutral power were to move to the ghetto by early December. | | | Despite discriminatory legislation against the Jews and widespread antisemitism, the Jewish community of Budapest was relatively secure until the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944. | | | About 25,000 Jews from the suburbs of Budapest were rounded up and transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. |

| | Street in Rome honors Giorgio Perlasca, a fascist who saved Budapest Ghetto Jews |
| | On the eve of Passover, the city of Rome named a street after a late fascist sympathizer who masqueraded as a Spanish diplomat during World War II and saved thousands of Jews in the Budapest Ghetto. | | | He found himself stranded in Budapest during the German occupation of the city in 1944 and was horrified at the mass deportations of Jews and other anti-Jewish persecutions. | | | Using his citation from Spain, he passed himself off as a Spanish diplomat and, working alongside Sweden's Raoul Wallenberg and other diplomats from neutral nations, he signed thousands of phony passports and identity documents that protected Jews from deportation. |

| | Hungarians commemorated the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Budapest ghetto last Tuesday, where nearly 70,000 Jews were confined under horrific conditions awaiting their deportation to Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. | | | By the time the Soviet troops liberated the ghetto on January 18, 1945 around half of Budapests 200,000 Jewish citizens had succumbed to the Nazis, while a total of 600,000 Hungarian Jews lost their lives. | | | In his address Chief Rabbi Robert Frohlich said: We mourn since a whole Jewish world was destroyed in the Holocaust and because our family members were murdered
But we also rejoice because we were saved and we give thanks for the liberation and for the life we received. |

| | Those left behind stayed in hiding or lived precariously in a smaller "international ghetto," which was in reality less protected than the enclosed central ghetto. | | | What made Budapest unusual was that due to relatively benign Hungarian policies against the Jews preceding the German occupation in March 1944, the city was the only remaining urban area anywhere within Nazi-occupied Europe that had a substantial surviving Jewish population by December 1944. | | | It was during this time that the heroic Swedish emissary Raoul Wallenberg made his name by resorting to every means possible -- Red Cross and Swedish government passes, real and forged, cajolery, bribery, and reckless courage -- to save as many of Budapest's Jews as possible. |

| | "Although the decree for the ghettoization of the Jews was published only on April 28 [1944- HWM], the Jews of Carpathian Ruthenia and northeastern Hungary were ordered into ghettos on April 16, the first day of Passover." | | | "(...Edmund Veesenmayer, the German Plenipotentiary in Hungary, cited the number of deportees as 437402.) They were deported between May 15 and July 9, 1944 from 55 major ghettos and concentration camps." | | | Any statement made by them concerning the establishment of the ghetto will be very useful - and probably legal - in a court of law. |
