Placard of the postman of Lodz Ghetto, signed by the Jewish Council
This placard with the number 133 and the position of its carrier was used by the postman in order to leave and enter the ghetto since Jews were forbidden to do so. The placard is signed by the Jewish Council.
Lodz Ghetto was the second largest ghetto under the German occupation. It was managed by a Jewish council headed by Chaim Mordechai Romkovsky, a controversial figure, who believed that by working for the Germans, the Jews might be saved. The Jews of the ghetto were sent mainly to Chelmno extermination camp. The ghetto was destroyed in January 1945.
