Cover
H. Eibeshitz Institute for Holocaust Studies, 1998
A history of the Łódź ghetto, interspersed with numerous excerpts from survivors' testimonies and documents from the Yad Vashem archives. Vol. I discusses the first days of the occupation; the activities of Chaim Rumkowski and the Judenrat; work in the ghetto, which the Jews believed could save them; the situation of the children; religious life, which went on despite the unbearable conditions; the deportations to Chełmno; attempts at passive resistance; and the ghetto's liquidation in 1944. Only 870 Jews from the ghetto survived. In Vol. II, pp. 377-447, "Auschwitz", contain excerpts from accounts by Jews of Łódź who survived Auschwitz. Pp. 448-502, "The Marches", contain accounts of those who were transferred from Auschwitz to various labor camps. Pp. 515-684 contain personal accounts on the Łódź ghetto and on postwar Poland. One of the accounts deals with the activities of the Hashomer Hatzair youth movement in the ghetto.
