Poland -- Between December 1939 and February 1940 the Lodz ghetto was established in Stare Miasto (Old Town), Baluty, the poor Jewish quarter, and the suburban area of Marysin. By September 1942, all Jews from the Warthegau (German expression for the annexed Western part of Poland) had been either murdered or expelled, apart from the 77,000 Jews remaining in Lodz. Consequently the extermination facilities in Chelmno were closed and the deportations from the Lodz ghetto ceased. For 19 months, until May 1944, the ghetto was turned into a labour camp: 90% of the Jews worked in the ghetto factories.

How many died in the Warsaw ghetto?
The only figure that I have been able to find is that of 150,000 people who entered Plaszow. Some of these were moved to other camps at various stages.

How may people lived in each ghetto during World War 2?
There were hundreds of ghettos, so please see the link. The Nazis kept the population of the Warsaw Ghetto constant at about 380,000-400,000. As the inhabitants died of starvation and disease more Jews were forced into the ghetto. The position was similar in Lodz Ghetto, with a population of about 160,000. From 1942 onwards, the ghettos were gradually emptied, as the inhabitants were taken to extermination camps.
What happened with the ghettos after the implementation of the Final Solution in 1941?
Gradually, the ghettos were 'liquidated' - that is, emptied and shut down as the population was moved to extermination camps. The last big ghetto, Lodz (Poland), was liquidated in August 1944.
