I really wish they spelled it “pre-war”. I was so confused
Łódź is not far from where my in-laws’ family lived. All but one died in the Warsaw ghetto or on the way to it. >

Lodz had it own camp. 220k slaughtered >

Yes, but they were from a town called Nasielsk. Same region I think. We have an account of those not immediately murdered being loaded onto trains and believed to have gone to Warsaw. >

Nasielsk is just north of Warsaw, and much closer to it than to Łódź. Almost everyone was either expelled from that town, or kept in a local labor camp, to make space for German colonization. >

I imagine there are collections like these hidden all over Eastern Europe. So very sad. The relics of a family’s life, intended to be ‘paused’ with the hope of one day returning to it, when almost none did. >

That was one of the hardest things to learn. At first your like, "whew. At least the ones they saved can go back to their lives and families" then years later you learn most had no family left, and the ones that made it back to their former places found them taken by locals. And they didn't give it back. Entire generations of wealth and history were wiped. 
Being freed from the holocaust wasn't the end of their suffering... it was the middle. There was a long road ahead. >

The village my grandfather was from was wiped from the map. He was the only one of his family sent to Canada, and the only one in his family to survive. The only thing I ever heard him say about it was when he was on his death bed and delirious. >

Happened many times. >

Thank you for this. I’m watching it on Hulu now >

My mother-in-law’s family, Polish Jews who ended up in Siberia during the war, managed to hold on to several silver pieces. They resemble what’s shown in this photo and will be passed down through the generations. >

The part about 30 percent of the city being Jewish and almost all of them being killed during the Nazi occupation is gut wrenching. Can you imagine killing 3 out of 10 people in your city? >

For countries like Belarus they lost 30% of their entire population. Over 1/4 dead. Probably even more injured and left crippled >

The Nazi priority was the Jews, but their long term plan included wiping out the Slavic population (only keeping some as slaves). >

Indiana Jones 6 just found its script... >

Still sounds a lot more promising than that bastard 4th one... >

The Dial of Destiny, 5th in the franchise, gonna be the shit! .....at least, that's what I assume will happen after he dials and says "I've fallen and I can't get up."
