Deportation of Jews to the Ghetto of Lodz

Deportation von Juden ins Ghetto von Lodz IMG

The ghetto in Lodz (Łódź) was established by the German occupation authorities in early 1940. It was one of the largest ghettos in the "Third Reich". Some of the homes of the deported Jews were allocated to resettled "ethnic Germans" (Volksdeutsche).
