| Summary: | For a few brief years in the postwar period, Lodz (Łódź) emerged as the new center of Jewish life in Poland. In the summer of 1946 the Jewish population of postwar Poland peaked at around a quarter of a million. Some 30,000 were living in Lodz, making it the largest urban center of Jewish life in the country. These were people on the move. Lodz, like Poland as a whole, was a place in transition, with Jews returning from both the concentration camps and wartime refuge in the Soviet Union. Alongside this inflow of Jews into the country was a steady outflow, especially to the West and in particular after the July 1946 Kielce pogrom. |
