we have been already many, many, many, many times to lodz visiting my wife's family... look what an album created google automatically here
the former poznanski's factory site is the beautiful shopping & leisure center manufaktura 'manufa' today
this time we have dared to jump into the city's historical museum in the poznanski palace. yes, it was a really nice experience. it was so crazy to learn that in 1820 had lodz only 767 inhabitants and thanks to rapid development of the textile industry (especially under russian administration) in 1914 almost half a million and before WWII already 670,00 ... unbelievable. there were poles, germans, jews and russian folks (+ few french and english industrialists too) living close to each other and in peace ...
that was probably also the time when in germany arised the folk song 'theo, we go to lodz' (theo, wir fahren nach lodsch)

lodz 💓
our last (longer) visit to lodz was at all hollows, so have have concentrated our attention on the cemeteries. enjoy especially the pictures from the combined catholic / protestant / orthodox cemetery close to the manufactura site here. this time i've visited the jewish cemetery in the northern part of the lodz. beside really old graves there are also many commemorative plaques for the victims of the litzmannstadt ghetto from WWII. so sad :-((
