A Child of the Ghetto is a Biograph silent short film directed by D. W. Griffith in 1910. The story features a seamstress in New York City.
According to Richard Brody's The New Yorker article "Babel on the Hudson", the protagonist is Jewish and her boyfriend a Gentile. The National Center for Jewish Film states that this is "one of the earliest films to treat an interfaith romance unproblematically."
