Provenance:
The "Children of the Lodz Ghetto : A Memorial Research Project", with its website at http://www.ushmm.org/online/lodzchildren/, was an early initiative by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to help foster "citizen history", enlisting the assistance of members of the public in Holocaust research through crowd-sourcing. One practical result of the Museum's partnership with the public is the project's alphabetically-ordered "Student List" containing details concerning the lives and deaths of nearly 11,000 of the over 13,000 pupils of various schools in the Lodz Ghetto who signed a presentation album full of hand-drawn greetings for the Jewish New Year, which was presented on September 23, 1941 to Chaim Rumkowski, Chairman of the Lodz Ghetto’s Jewish Council. Within a year, many of these children were deported and murdered in gas vans at the Chelmno killing center, though some remained in the ghetto and even after the ghetto’s liquidation and their evacuation through numerous camps, some of these students survived.
