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.
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. >

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.
