Lodz, Poland, A straw-shoe workshop for the German army.
There were three straw workshops in the ghetto: an upholstery workshop, a brush workshop, and - seen in the photograph - a straw shoe workshop. In the show workshop, straw soles were manufactured for the Wehrmacht soldiers on the Russian front. Straw soles manufactured in the ghetto, along with a tar layer, were used against the cold weather. These shoe soles were stiff, and were therefore used by soldiers whose assignments did not require much walking, such as guards. On the back, wearing a green shirt - Pnina Fuks, who survived and lived in Herzliya (identified by Arie Ben Menachem).

Lodz, Poland, A street scene in the ghetto.
 This photo was taken from Zgierska St. ("Hohensteiner") from outside the ghetto fence next to the church (behind the trees on the right), looking east into what pre-war was Brzezinska Street, now Wojska Polskiego, called "Sulzfelder" by the occupying Germans. The red brick entrance that can be seen on the left is on the corner of Lagiewnicka ("Hanseaten") and is the entrance to what was then the Jojne Pilcer market.
