It is announced that in the town of Lodz hundreds of thousands of Jews will be sent to live in a specially created ghetto.
The city, which is home to 230,000 Jewish residents, will become the site of Poland’s second largest Nazi ghetto, and the only one to completely cut off its inhabitants from any outside access. The result is a people unprepared for what they would find behind the walls of the notorious Lodz Ghetto. Establishment of the ghetto is kept secret for months. The Nazi regime was looking for a way to herd the Jewish population in a controllable area, for easy deportation once a final solution for the 'Jewish problem' was reached.
