Procedura i przebieg transportów kolejowych z getta łódzkiego do obozu zagłady w Chełmnie nad Nerem (styczeń–maj 1942 r.)

Recently conducted research has led to solving many key problems connected with the Łódź ghetto’s history. The German decision-making processes and reactions of the Jewish administration of the ghetto to the deportations to the death centers have been reconstructed. This text focuses on issues connected with the organization and course of the deportations from the ghetto to the death center in Chełmno nad Nerem (Kulmhof am Ner) between January and May 1942. It is an attempt to reconstruct the events which took place during the deportations (including at the Radegast station, where the deportees were loaded onto train cars) and during their journey to the extermination site.
