Łódź Ghetto (aka Litzmannstadt)

Łódź

The Łódź Ghetto, in Poland during the German occupation (1939–1945) was a collection camp (Jewish residential district/Jewish ghetto) of the Nazi state during World War II from 1939 to 1944. It was the longest-running Nazi ghetto and the second largest in Poland after the Warsaw Ghetto. The city of Łódź was renamed Litzmannstadt in April 1940 after the former general. Like the other Nazi ghettos, it served primarily as a stopover before deportation to extermination camps Kulmhof, Auschwitz II, Majdanek, Treblinka and Sobibor.
