<p>[QUOTE=&quot;irina59, post: 1197773, member: 29518&quot;]thanks to everyone for information, but I really confused&nbsp; about this number of 32 millions coins for Poland Lodz Ghetto.</p><p>The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was one of the largest on Polish territory (second to Warsaw ghetto).It existed for the longest period of time. It was established in February 1940 and liquidated in August 1944. The Jews imprisoned in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto throughout its existence consisted of a total number of 200,000 men, women and children.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; According to the German policy only Jews capable of work could stay in the ghetto. Those who were not able to work were sent to the death camp in Kulmhof am Ner (Chełmno nad Nerem). There the Germans killed 80 000 Jews there. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; On August 9, 1944 first transport from Litzmannstadt to Auschwitz took place. Deportees were informed that they were going deep into the Third Reich. In reality they were sent straight into the gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Until August 29, 1944 the Germans deported the remaining Litzmannstadt Ghetto inhabitants in number of 67 000.According to Arnold Mostowicz estimation there were approximately 12 000-15 000 survivors. The Litzmannstadt Ghetto was liquidated. Only 800 Jews appointed to cleaning were left. Most of them survived.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
