Łódź: Jewish History Guided Tour with Cemetery Visit｜Poland

Begin your journey at the Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest in Europe, where over 180,000 people are buried. Learn about prominent Jewish families, including the famous industrialist Izrael Poznański, and discover remarkable funerary art that reflects the history and traditions of the Jewish community.

Continue to Radegast Station, the former railway station from which thousands of Jews from the Łódź Ghetto, as well as deportees from other parts of Europe, were transported to the Chełmno extermination camp and later to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, the station serves as a powerful memorial dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.

The final part of the tour focuses on the history of the Łódź Ghetto (Litzmannstadt Ghetto), established by the German occupation authorities in 1940. Once the second-largest ghetto in occupied Europe, it became a place of unimaginable hardship, forced labor, hunger, and isolation. Walking through the former ghetto area, learn about the daily lives of its inhabitants, the difficult decisions made by its leaders, and the tragic fate of the community during the Holocaust.
