Before World War II, the second largest Jewish community in Poland resided in Lodz. When Nazis invaded Poland, Jews in Lodz were forced out of their homes and into a ghetto. On January 16, 1942, Nazis began deporting Jews from the Lodz ghetto to the Chelmno extermination camp. Approximately 167,000 Jews and 4,300 Sinti-Roma were killed at Chelmno.
In her USC Shoah Foundation testimony, Holocaust survivor Anna Gerut recalls surviving the ghetto and its liquidation.
