Capturing the Ghetto. Artistic Portrayals of Everyday Life in the Łódź Ghetto

Publié le 30 September 2024

Until 16 March 2025 at the JHI

This exhibition has been organised to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liquidation of the Lodz ghetto. For four years, 200,000 Jews were imprisoned there, both natives of Lodz and those deported from other towns and regions. Many perished from starvation and disease due to the harsh conditions, while others were deported and murdered in the camps. The exhibition looks back at the particularly harsh conditions in which they survived. Despite this, some prisoners found the strength and courage to document these conditions, which will also be presented during the exhibition.
