The Establishment and Operation of the Venetian Ghetto
The chapter explores the historical background and unique features of the Venetian Ghetto, showcasing the complexities of its creation in 1516 by Venetian authorities to segregate the Jewish population from the city. It discusses the self-governing nature of the ghetto, the isolation measures implemented, and the dual aspects of persecution and recognition of the Jewish community's economic importance. The chapter delves into the challenges faced by the Jewish residents in the ghetto, their distinct communities, and the fragile balance between toleration and discrimination in late medieval and early modern Europe.
