THE BIRTH OF THE JEWISH GHETTO

AD 1516 – The governor of the Republic of Venice decided that Jews would be permitted to live only in one area of the city. This was the first ghetto in Europe.

The Roman ghetto was later established by Pope Paul IV. Jews were forcibly sent to live there on July 26, 1556. The Roman ghetto consisted of a few narrow, dirty streets, which quickly became thoroughly overcrowded. This section of the city was annually flooded by the Tiber River. Each year the Jews had to go through a humiliating ceremony that included the Jews publicly pleading for the right to continue living there during the ensuing year. After this, they paid an exorbitant tax. This ceremony was observed as late as 1850. The entire degrading event is strikingly similar to the Islamic practice of exacting the jizya (tax) upon Jews and Christians living under Muslim rule known as dhimmis, or subjected peoples. It is truly sad that such purposeful humiliation and degradation was carried out by confessing Christians. Later, the use of the Jewish ghetto was adopted by Adolf Hitler.42

AD 1540–50 – Jews were banished from Naples, Genoa, and Venice.43
