Lodz, Poland, Baluty district, former Litzmannstadt Ghetto, Broken Heart Memorial built in memory of Polish children, the prisoners of the only one concentration camp for Polish children only. The prison officially named (in German): Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt was actually small concentration camp for young Poles (2 years old kids and teenagers) was opened in November 1942 at Przemysłowa Street inside the Litzmannstadt Ghetto, just nearby the Kirkut - Jewish cemetery. The KL had a 3 meters high barbed wire fence, wooden watchtowers, blockhouses, main square, internal prison and the house of tortures. The food rations were lower than in the other concentration camps. The statue was built at the other end of the camp. There is an inscription in the fron of the monument - “They taken your lives. Today we can offer you only memory”. The surroundings areas (also former Litzmannstadt Ghetto) were changed to the park.
Your text, with that image… Almost heart breaking. There is actually not much to say. I enjoy your text and photos. They put me in a certain mood that not many photos/blogs does. Thank you for that.
Krystian, Krystek,
Jeżeli mnie nie pamiętasz to zapytaj Mamy.
Zdjęcie ciekawe, mało treści nazwa obozu: Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt. Przypadkiem nie napisz “Łódzki” obóz koncentracyjny dla małoletnich Polaków
