It depends on what you mean by closed. If you mean sealed off fron the surrounding area, the date varied from ghetto to ghetto, but if you mean shut down, emptied ('liquidated') last of the ghetto in Poland to be dissolved was the Lodz Ghetto in August 1944: the remaining inhabitants were transported to Auschwitz.

What are closed ghettos in the holocaust?

Closed Ghettos were closed off by walls, or by fences with barbed wire. The German authorities compelled Jews living in the surrounding areas to move into the closed ghetto, thus exacerbating the extremely crowded and unsanitary conditions. Starvation, chronic shortages, severe winter weather, inadequate and unheated housing, and the absence of adequate municipal services led to repeated outbreaks of epidemics and to a high mortality rate. Most ghettos were of this type.


How many ghettos were established?

There were three types of ghettos: closed ghettos, open ghettos, and destruction ghettos. The Germans established at least 1,000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone. German occupation authorities established the first ghetto in Poland in PiotrkówTrybunalski in October 1939.


What was the resettlement program Hitler made Jews go to?

I presume that you mean the ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps. Ghettos were closed off portions of towns and cities, most famously the Warsaw Ghetto, where Jews were forced to live. The ghettos were gradually liquidated, and the Jews sent to concentration and death camps as quickly as the Germans could manage.

How long did it take to build the ghettos in world war 2?

The ghettos weren't specifically built to be ghettos in world war 2. They were neighborhoods that were "repurposed" to segregate the Jewish communities (for the most part). There were several types of ghettos, closed, open, and destruction. For example, in Warsaw they built walls around existing homes and streets and forced the Jewish people into the blocked off area.

In total, there were over 540 Jewish ghettos in the entire Nazi empire, which sent the majority of the Jews to their deaths.
