This is a book of about 85 old postcards of Lodz which attempts to recall the places which are no longer existing and also the function of the currently anonymous existing buildings, which lost their history. The Jewish community was, as the city of Lodz, an extraordinary phenomenon of development. For example, in 1807 there were 55 Jews out of 430 inhabitants in Lodz. In 1909 the number of residents reached 393,500, of which the Jewish community made up 88,200. Before the outbreak of World War II, the Jewish community numbered 230,000 members, which made up 40% of the population. Between 12,000 and 20,000 out of the 230,000 Lodz Jews survived the war and now there are only about 300 Jews in Lodz. This album presents a small part of the old city which no longer exists. This album is dedicated to the memory of all the Jews who did not survive the hell of the Lodz Ghetto and the extermination camps.
