"Ghettos, 1939-1945: New Research and Perspectives on Definition, Daily Life, and Survival" was held November 1, 2001 at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This program offered the opportunity to hear from ten scholars whose research into newly released archival materials offered fresh insight and deeper understanding of various aspects of life in the ghettos of Europe from 1939 to 1945. The further study of ghettos is an integral part of enhancing our understanding of the Holocaust.
