Łodz: Litzmannstadt Ghetto

1942 a key year in the history of the ghetto, mostly due to camps operating within it, intended for Roma and Polish children. In January, the Germans liquidated the so-called gypsy camp (Zigeunerlager). In December, in the area separated from the ghetto, the Preventive Security Police Camp for Polish Youth in Łódź (Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt) was established.

A walk in the footsteps of both camps will focus on their history, the fate of the victims and the relations between the camps and the surrounding ghetto.
