Minsk Ghetto

Map of the Minsk Ghetto by professor Barbara Epstein

The Minsk Ghetto was created soon after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. It was one of the largest in the Byelorussian SSR, and the largest in the German-occupied territory of the Soviet Union.[1] It housed close to 100,000 Jews, most of whom were murdered in The Holocaust.
