SexViolHist Bib: Types: Sexual Violence during the Holocaust: Ghettos

»A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group are concentrated, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure. Ghettos are often known for being more impoverished than other areas of the city. Versions of such restricted areas have been found across the world, each with their own names, classifications, and groupings of people.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
