One of the identified graves of Ghetto Field at the New Jewish Cemetery in Lodz. The Ghetto Field consists of about 45 thousand graves of people, who died in Ghetto. They were buried over there in the individual graves in accordance with the provisions of the Jewish religion. However most of those graves are not traceable on the surface (apart of those with the concrete gravestones). Nowadays the Ghetto field is reconstructed and the graves are being identified (following the archives of the cemetery) under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence of Israel.

One of the gravestones in the almost abandoned,not maintained and ovegrown part of the cemetery. The inscription on the stone is somehow symbolic due to the date of death - 1942. Amanda Fraenkel, as many other people, was trapped in the Litzmannstadt ghetto where she died. Her daugher or son erected a gravestone (probably soon after the burial). Did she or he (or they) survived? 45 thousands of Jews who died in the ghetto had been buried at the New Jewish Cemetery, in acordance to the Jewish religion at least. Today their greaves are more or less traceable and they are not anonymous. Those hundred thousands who were sent to the nazi-German death camps of Kulmhof and Auschwitz were turned to dust with no graves and nameless (SS kommando of Kulmhof ordered even special bone grinder to leave no traces of their genocide).
