Lakhva Ghetto (or Łachwa Ghetto) existed from summer 1941 to summer 1942 in Lakhva (Polish Łachwa - a town now in Belarus, then in the German occupied Poland, and up to 1939 in the Second Polish Republic). Lakhva Ghetto is considered to have been the location of one of the first, and possibly the first Jewish ghetto uprisings of the Second World War.
