Since 1596 Warsaw has been the capital of Poland. In Polish Warsaw (“Warszawa”) literally means “belonging to Warsz”—a 12th-13th-century nobleman who owned land in the Mariensztat district. Warsaw was home to Europe’s largest Jewish population—around 337,000 in 1939, and 445,000 by 1941. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1st 1939, the Nazis quickly surrounded the capital city and launched a deadly blitzkreig that claimed many lives and destroyed buildings. The Germans were now in control of the country and in November 1939, an edict issued by Hans Frank, the Governor General, decreed all Jewish men, women and children over the age of ten had to wear a Star of David armband to identify themselves. All Jewish shops had to be similarly marked with a Star of David, and severe restrictions were placed on the Jewish population. Further laws limited the amount of money Jews were able to withdraw, with strict rules on buying produce, letting and owning property and travel. In March 1940, groups of Polish gangs launched a series of violent attacks on the Jewish population—stealing money, gold, food, clothes and anything they could find of any value. These attacks lasted for eight days until the Germans intervened. In February 1940, the...

Le "temps des ghettos " est considéré comme la première étape du processus génocidaire de la population juive d’Europe centrale. les Juifs furent liquidés en 1942-1943 et leur population conduite vers les centres de mise à mort pour y être assassinée. Allant à l’encontre de la volonté des autorités nazies de garder le secret sur le processus de mise à mort des Juifs d’Europe, cette première étape a été beaucoup documentée visuellement.World War II started with the invasion of Poland in September 1939. In the countries annexed to the East, the German army assembled the Jewish inhabitants in ghettos that rapidly became overpopulated and unsanitary. The ghettos were liquidated in 1942-1943, marking the first step in the genocide of Central European Jews and the inhabitants transported to death camps. 1939年9月，德国入侵波兰，第二次世界大战爆发。在与德国东部毗邻的国家中，德国军队将犹太居民赶入聚集区管理，这些犹太人聚集区不但人口密度大，而且卫生条件极差。1942年至1943，德国军队对犹太聚集区进行了大清理，这标志着对中欧犹太人和押送至灭绝营的居民的大屠杀的开始。
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 was the largest single act of Jewish resistance against the German army during World War II.

The Lodz Ghetto was the second-largest ghetto (after the Warsaw Ghetto) established for Jews and Roma in German-occupied Poland. Situated in the city of Łódź and originally intended as a temporary gathering point for Jews, the ghetto was transformed into a major industrial centre, providing much needed supplies for Nazi Germany and especially for the German Army. Because of its remarkable productivity, the ghetto managed to survive until August 1944, when the remaining population was transported to Auschwitz and Chełmno extermination camp. It was the last ghetto in Poland to be liquidated.
The Łódź Ghetto was a World War II ghetto established for Polish Jews and Roma following the 1939 invasion of Poland. It was the second-largest ghetto in all of German-occupied Europe after the Warsaw Ghetto. Below are some rare color photographs that capture daily life at the Lodz Ghetto in 1943.
