Budapest actually had two ghettos (only one of which had walls), both set up in November 1944, and liberated by the Soviet Red Army between January 16 and 18, having stood for roughly two months.

Ramz,

Jews never used their own children as human shields and human, walking bombs. I am sure WNYC will delete this, they delete most posts that do not vilify Jews.

Didn't the Rothschild family and the modern day banking system begin in the ghetto?

Not to sound whatever, but is there anything more written about than the jews in ww2?

I am a little disturbed by the distinction in this discussion made between the Jews and the Poles. The Jews of the Warsaw ghetto were primarily Polish. Catholic Poles and Jewish Poles were and remain countrymen and compatriots.

Mr. Kassow's description of the Warsaw ghetto sound an awful like a modern-day description of Gaza: more than 1 million oppressed people forced into a tiny area by a powerful militaristic government; many of ghetto dewellers being refugees forced from their homes; the oppressing power engaging in gratutious humiliation of the ghetto dwellers; unlawful killings of the ghetto dwellers; and the ghetto dwellers' reliance on criminal smugglers as their only source of food, clothes and medicine. Mind you, all I'm saying is that the resemblance is striking and embarrasing.

Wow, the funny thing about the Warsaw ghetto is it sounds just like how the people in the Gaza strip have been forced to live. Now I know that most of the listening audience will disagree, due to the "no one has had the hardships that the Jews have had". But if we think of the slaves in America and the basic plight of Black people in this country, the Native American Indians and of course the Palestinians the Jews do not stand alone.

Budapest had a ghetto too, please don't forget, although for about 1 1/2 years
