Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the history of the infamous walled Jewish quarters known as Ghettos, which were established across Europe starting in the 13th century. The author begins by discussing the earlier settlements of Jews in Europe, and the social and political conditions that led to the Ghetto's creation. The author then focuses on the Ghetto of Frankfurt-on-the-Main, providing readers with a detailed account of daily life inside its walls. The author argues that the creation of the Ghetto was more than just a physical separation of Jews from Christians. It was a systematic attempt to degrade and humiliate the Jewish people, and to mark them as outsiders and inferiors. The author concludes by reflecting on the legacy of the Ghetto, writing that it remains a haunting reminder of the evils of prejudice and intolerance, as manifested through state-sanctioned discrimination.
