Poland -- Between December 1939 and February 1940 the Lodz ghetto was established in Stare Miasto (Old Town), Baluty, the poor Jewish quarter, and the suburban area of Marysin. By September 1942, all Jews from the Warthegau (German expression for the annexed Western part of Poland) had been either murdered or expelled, apart from the 77,000 Jews remaining in Lodz. Consequently the extermination facilities in Chelmno were closed and the deportations from the Lodz ghetto ceased. For 19 months, until May 1944, the ghetto was turned into a labour camp: 90% of the Jews worked in the ghetto factories.

The Lodz Ghetto was established by the Nazis as a way to concentrate and control the Jewish population in occupied Poland. The primary purpose of the ghetto was to exploit the Jewish residents for their labor and extract resources from them, all while isolating them from the general population. It served as a precursor to the mass deportations to extermination camps.
