Jewish population in the occupied Poland. All the
other ghettoes were liquidated in 1942 and

1943. The liquidation of the Łódź ghetto began
on June 23, 1944. The first transports were dis-

patched to Chełmno nad Nerem; after a short
break they resumed and were sent to Auschwitz-

Birkenau. The last transport was dispatched

from Radegast station on August 29, 1944.
Over 43,000 people died of hunger and emaci-

ation in the ghetto. Their graves are located at
the Jewish cemetery in the Bałuty district. Ap-

proximately 150,000 people lost their lives in
Chełmno, Auschwitz-Birkenau and other camps.

Out of the several thousand survivors of the Lodz

ghetto only a few are still alive.
