The Łódź Ghetto was a Jewish ghetto established by the Nazis in 1940 in the city of Łódź, Poland. It was one of the largest ghettos in occupied Europe, housing around 200,000 Jews. The ghetto was surrounded by walls and barbed wire, and residents faced severe overcrowding, food shortages, and harsh living conditions. Life in the Łódź Ghetto was marked by forced labor and constant fear of deportation to extermination camps. In 1944, the ghetto was liquidated, and most of its inhabitants were sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. The ghetto's history serves as a reminder of the atrocities of the Holocaust.
