| has gloss | eng: Grodno Ghetto was created by Nazi Germans in November 1941, shortly after the Belarusian city of Hrodna (German Garten, Polish Grodno) was annexed to the district of Bialystok of East Prussia in the aftermath of the German attack on the Soviet Union. The Ghetto consisted of two interconnected units about 2 km apart. The Ghetto One was established in the Old Town district, around the synagogue (Shulhoif), with some 15,000 Jews crammed into an area less than half a square km. The Ghetto Two was created in the Slobodka suburb, with around 10,000 Jews incarcerated in it. Ghetto Two was larger in size than the main ghetto but far more ruined. |
