The World's First Ghetto

In this video from The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama discusses the consequences of the Spanish Expulsion, including Jewish immigration to the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice. Both the video and background essay describe the origins of the word "ghetto," the name of the walled district established in 1516 to house the Jewish population of Venice.
