Kraków Ghetto
The
Kraków Ghetto
was one of five major, metropolitan
Jewish ghettos
created by
Nazi Germany
in the new
General Government
territory during the
German occupation
of
Poland
in World War II. It was established for the purpose of exploitation, terror, and persecution of local
Polish Jews
, as well as the staging area for separating the "able workers" from those who
would later be deemed unworthy of life
. The Ghetto was liquidated between June 1942 and March 1943, with most of its inhabitants sent to their deaths at
Belzec extermination camp
as well as
Plaszów slave-labor camp
, and
Auschwitz concentration camp
, 60
kilometres
