Lodz, Poland, The ghetto's annual statistical report, December 1940-April 1941.

This album is part of a series of albums that was found in the area of Lodz ghetto after its liberation. The albums were compiled by the Statistics Department, for the chairman of the Judenrat. The album contains data of the workshops and Judenrat departments. The chairman of the Judenrat Rumkowski saw work as means to protect ghetto residents. Products were handed to the Germans, who supplied raw materials. The work served the Reich's economy; all of the workers in Lodz ghetto are therefore defined forced laborers. Aharon Jakubowitz was head of the central office of the work ressorts, which was opened on 01/10/1940. The office was responsible for the opening of new ressorts and supervising them, for the receiving of raw materials for the workshops, and for supplying the finished products.
