Cmentarz Żydowski w Łodzi
For centuries, Poland was home to the largest Jewish community in the world. Jewish people also strongly influenced the history of Łódź. This is the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. The Poznanski mausoleum near the entrance is a beautiful memorial. The cemetery has many tall trees and vines. It is very green and leafy and makes for peaceful exploring and meandering.
Getto Łódzkie
The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was the second largest Jewish ghetto in Poland after the Warsaw Ghetto. It is referred to as both the Łódź Ghetto and the Litzmannstadt Ghetto, the latter name coming from the German general who captured the city in World War I (the entire city was later renamed Litzmannstadt in his honor). The ghetto was the last one to be liquidated due to the high productivity of the slave laborers and lack of armed resistance. See Holocaust remembrance for context.
Musical Theatre
Musicals and operettas are the main plays here.
