Abstract:
List of approximately 100 members of the "Aeltestenrat" [="Council of Elders"] for the Nazi "Gau" [="administrative district"] of Wartheland, an area of occupied Poland that was annexed to Germany and included the entire Poznan province, most of the Lodz province, five Pomeranian districts, and one county of the Warsaw province. Some of the larger towns and cities with Jewish populations in Wartheland as of 1939, when this name list was compiled, were: Belchatow, Ciechocinek, Gniezno, Inowroclaw, Kalisz, Konin, Kutno, Lodz, Nieszawa, Ozorkow, Pabianice, Poznan, Sieradz, Wielun, Wloclawek, Zdunska Wola and Zelow. Each councilmenber's birthdate and place, address, occupation, and position within the "Judenrat" [="Jewish Council"] is given, along with the name of the community from which they served. By 1942 the single Jewish ghetto remaining in Warthegau was Lodz. List is prefaced by a chart titled "Kopfzahl der jüdischen Gemeinden im Warthegau" showing the number of Jews living in various Polish towns.
