History of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto

The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was a Nazi-created Jewish ghetto in Poland. It was established in 1939, after the German invasion of Poland, and was named after the German general Karl Litzmann. The ghetto was located in the city of Łódź, which was an important industrial center in Poland.

Over 60,000 Jews were forced to live in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto. The conditions in the ghetto were horrific. The ghetto was overcrowded, and the Jews were forced to live in squalid conditions. They were also subject to harsh Nazi regulations.

In 1942, the Nazis began to systematically murder the Jews in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto. Over 45,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps, where they were murdered. The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was finally liquidated in 1944.

The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was a dark chapter in Jewish history. However, the plate you have is a reminder of the resilience of the Jewish people. It is a reminder that even in the face of great adversity, the Jewish people have persevered.
