Łódź
One of a series of educational films about the history of Jewish communities in Polish cities. We want to remind people of how Łódź’s Jews lived and perished. To tell the story of Jewish life before World War II, how the Holocaust put an end to it, and to show contemporary efforts to “recover” it and preserve the memory of it. The film shows how the memory of this history is passed down to future generations and continues to shape our shared future. The film has been made in a YouTube-style format and includes both animation and archival photos and video footage. Film is aimed at students in grades 7-8 of primary school and high school. The project was supported by the EEA Grants from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as well as by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
