Grodno ghetto
Ghetto Grodno was a ghetto in Hrodna (Polish: Grodno ) established under German occupation . The ghettos at the time of National Socialism were part of the concentration camp system .
Since June 1941 Grodno was occupied by the German Wehrmacht , about 50% of the city buildings were razed to the ground. The city's Jews were locked up in two ghettos under the supervision of the SS from November 1941 - around 15,000 in Ghetto I for those able to work and 10,000 in Ghetto II for those unable to work - from where most of them were deported and murdered.
