Description:
Electronic data of Łódź ghetto school children compiles as part of the "Children of the Lodz Ghetto" project started in 2007 by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The purpose of the project was to reconstruct the stories of school children who fell victim of the Holocaust. The names were extracted from thousands of signatures of students and teachers in an album full of hand-drawn greetings for the Jewish New Year that was originally presented to Chaim Rumkowski, chairman of the Lodz Ghetto’s Jewish Council, on September 23, 1941.

The index contains name, school number, occupation, and notes entered by researchers. Digital copies of the original documents are also attached.
