Lodz, Poland, junction of Zgierska street and Limanowskiego street. The former headquarters of Gestapo and German authorities of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto (Gettoverwaltung). During the German occupation old part of Lodz - Baluty - was turned into enclosured and cut off Jewish quarter being in fact a small and independent slave labour camp.  Most of the buildings of Litzmannstadt Ghetto remained and Baluty is still one of the poorest part of the city.
