Virtual Walking Tour: Łódź, Poland

Join us for a powerful live-streamed journey through Łódź, one of the most important centers of Jewish life in Europe before World War II. Home to more than 230,000 Jews, nearly one-third of the city's population, Łódź was a thriving hub of Jewish culture, industry, education, religious life, and innovation. During our tour, we'll explore the places that bear witness to this extraordinary community, from sites connected to the historic Jewish quarter and the vast Jewish Cemetery to locations tied to the Łódź Ghetto, the second-largest ghetto established by the Nazis and one of the last to be liquidated during the Holocaust. As we walk through the city, we'll uncover stories of achievement, perseverance, tragedy, and survival, gaining a deeper understanding of how Jewish residents helped shape Łódź and how their legacy continues to resonate today. This moving experience offers an opportunity to reflect on one of the most significant chapters in Jewish and European history. Co-presented with Wowzitude.
