1/ Just found the online exhibit at Museum of Lodz Jews, so posting a few pics to lure you to visit them: lodzjews.org. Here ghetto administrator Hans Biebow out for a stroll in the "market" where starving people are trying to survive by selling off household goods. 
2/ Lodz ghetto: Hans Biebow examines some books a ghetto resident is trying to sell, and later some neckties.

5/ Lodz ghetto: 2 pics from the carpet weaving plant.
6/ Lodz ghetto: 2 pics from straw-weaving/basket plant, "Resort Słomiany."
