Abstract

In October 2011, Mr. Edward Victor, former lawyer and philanthropist, donated to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust his Collection of the Second World War era documents and artifacts. Owing to this generous donation, our Archive acquired highly valuable historic materials. Being multivectorial by content and form, these documents and artifacts mirror various facets of the Holocaust and in a broader sense, they emanate from the war realities.

Mr. Victor’s Papers also include a special collection of postcards and photographs depicting largely bygone synagogues of Europe, Northern Africa and Middle East.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

Ed Victor Papers comprises 58 collections, sub-collections. The latters include a great deal of folders and folder-level collections. All in all this record groups contains around 1800 documents.

Biographical Note

Mr. Victor started his collection guided primarily by philatelic interest. He collected letters, envelopes, postcards and other documents bearing a postal stamp or institutional stamps of the respective authorities and agencies. At a certain point, he realizes that the fate of the people, reflected in the short narratives, is of eternal historic value and shall not be measured only in a philatelic dimension. The content of various wartime correspondences reveals a historic enormity of victimization, dehumanization and personal tragedies on one side and a cold blood calmness of perpetrators on the other.

Sub-Collection 7: RG-72.07, Correspondence to and from Lodz ghetto, 1941 -- 1944

In 1939, Lodz was Poland’s second largest city after Warsaw. One-third of its residents, more than 233,000 people were Jews.

Before the end of 1939, 70,000 of the city’s Jews had been deported to labor camps in the General Government or had fled to the Soviet Union. By May 1, 1940, the remaining Jews were forced into a sealed ghetto to face starvation, uncertainty and misery.

The phenomenon of Lodz ghetto can be viewed as a multifactorial discourse. Multiple phenomena, such as of Nazi-German inconsistency in the pursuing of the Final Solution, of Chaim Mordechaj Rumkowski as an authoritarian leader of the ghetto and of the industrial mobility of Jewish population in Lodz, all in all induced and maintained an extraordinary existence of the hierarchically ruled and secluded from outside world ghetto.

The social structure in the Lodz Ghetto had the form of a pyramid that narrowed very swiftly in the direction of its apex. At the very pinnacle stood the Eldest of the Jews, Chaim Mordechaj Rumkowski.

The system of personal rule of the Jewish Eldest was established in the ghetto from the very beginning. The entire internal ghetto regime with its division into different groups and segments was narrowly linked with this person and with the Nazi policy that he realized in the ghetto. His personal defects and qualities, his convictions and ideas and his character and temperament had a decisive influence on the formation of the inner conditions in the ghetto.

Rumkowski surely considered the danger connected with his office. In the first weeks, he experienced on his own body the quality of Nazi brutality, when he came to intervene on behalf of the Jewish community secretary Sh. Nadler who had been seized for forced labor. The lust to rule, however, overcame him, particularly since he was by nature not a coward and showed courage and self-control when he stood face to face with a death threat.

In the areas of ghetto life, where the German supervisory authority over the ghetto left the Jews free hands, Rumkowski’s powers were like those of an absolute ruler. He truly became the master of life and death for over 150,000 Jews within the ghetto.

September 1, 1939 – May 1, 1940

On January 19, 1940, the German chief of police in Lodz, Schäffer, issued a warning to non-Jews not to enter the Jewish quarter because it had become a nest of infectious diseases (a common practice of the Nazis in all occupied territories). On February 8, 1940, the establishment of the ghetto was ordered. On March 1, 1940, the Eldest of the Jews, Chaim Rumkowski, issued his Announcement No. 1, the Jews who live in the “Jewish quarter” are to remain there or face reprisals for living illegally. In Announcement No. 4 (March 1940) he further informed “the Jewish population of Lodsch” that he had been instructed by the authorities to “regulate the transfer of Jews to the new quarter.” In April 1940, the ghetto area was enclosed with a wire fence, and on April 19, 1940, Rumkowski was ordered by the German police to have the Ordungsdienst (the Jewish police) guard the fence inside the ghetto. On April 30, 1940, Schäffer ordered the closing of the ghetto. On May 1, 1940, the ghetto was sealed off from the outside world.

May 1, 1940 – January 5, 1942

This period is characterized by the consolidation of Rumkowski’s power over the ghetto and the development of the internal ghetto administration. Rumkowski’s tasks and prerogatives as the Eldest of the ghetto were outlined in a letter from the Oberbürgmeister (signed by city commissioner Schiffer) on April 30, 1940. Rumkowski was to organize and maintain “orderly community life” with respect to economy, provisioning, labor, health and welfare; to submit to the German administration weekly statistics of all ghetto inhabitants; to list and secure all Jewish assets for the purpose of confiscation except for vitally needed clothes, food and dwellings. In return, he was authorized to organize his own police, to confiscate and distribute all food and to enforce work without pay. All ghetto contacts with the German authorities were to be maintained exclusively by Rumkowski or his deputy.

The ghetto, which Rumkowski took over, was confined to an area of 4.3 square kilometers (in February 1941, after the Germans cut off several blocks of the ghetto, the diminished area equaled 3.8 square kilometers). The ghetto was located in the poorest neighborhood of prewar Lodz, the Baluty and Old Town (Stare Miasto), where basic accommodations were generally lacking and sanitary conditions were dismal. In this enclosed and tightly guarded place there lived 160,423 Jews according to a census taken on June 6, 1940. In the overcrowded dwellings there were an average of 3.5 persons per room. Most of the ghetto inhabitants lost all or most of their property when they left their city homes in panic. The economy was nonexistent. The community welfare system, heavily burdened even before the creation of the ghetto, was in shambles.

Rumkowski entered the ghetto with an ideology of survival, which entailed making the ghetto productive and thus useful to the Nazis, especially to the German war industry. On April 5, 1940, he submitted to the Oberbürgmeister a plan to organize industries in the ghetto that would serve the economic needs of the Nazis. Later he would allude in his speeches to this plan as giving the Nazis a virtual “gold mine” – meaning thousands of cheap Jewish laborers. The first tailoring workshop with 300 workers opened on April 20 and on May 13 Rumkowski reported to the Oberbürgmeister that 14,850 tailors and seamstresses registered for work, and he asked for production orders. From these beginning, an industrial complex developed in the ghetto with 117 enterprises and 73,782 workers by the end of 1943.

Meanwhile, a ruthless campaign to confiscate work tools and raw materials was conducted in order to open other workshops and force people to work in ghetto industries rather than on their own. In time, private enterprise in the ghetto was completely eradicated, and Rumkowski became the sole employer for the entire ghetto population.

The system of food rationing (except for the bread) was introduced in the ghetto on June 2, 1940 and from this day ration cards regulated life in the ghetto. In 1940, the population tried to resist. Hunger demonstration and disturbances marked the first year of the ghetto. Demonstrators took the streets on August 10 and 11 and again during the first week of October. The last known disturbance occurred on January 11 and 12, 1941. They were put down by the Jewish Ordungsdienst and German police.

Trying to stabilize the situation in the ghetto, Rumkowski appealed to the German administration, and on September 19 received a loan on 2,000,000 Reichsmarks. He used the loan for relief payments to over 70,000 destitute ghetto inmates. At the same time he was moving fast towards the total rationing of provisions. This was announced on December 15, 1940, with rationing of bread as well. On December 27, 1940, Rumkowski announced the takeover of all private food stores, restaurants and home kitchens and assigned the distribution of food to his own stores. By 1941, the rationing system was firmly in place, and provisioning was fully regulated.

In 1940 and in 1941, the ghetto communal, cultural and social institutions and organizations were still active. The school system was fully operative, childcare was provided by a network of children’s homes, orphanages, summer camps and a free meals program, religion and religious institutions enjoyed a temporary reprieve from Nazi persecutions. There were important social programs for ghetto youth such as haksharas and kibbutzim in Marysin. Theater performances, literary and musical events were arranged in the Culture House and in halls and kitchens maintained by various political groups.

For a while the Nazis seemed content with this situation and interfered little in the ghetto’s internal affairs. Reckless killing did not stop altogether, to be sure and many took place at the ghetto fence where the Schutzolizei (Protective Police) guards would open fire at anyone who came to close. An insane asylum in the ghetto was liquidated and over one hundred of its patients were killed. A sedative, Scopolamin, was administered to them before execution.

The general situation in the ghetto changed radically in the fall of 1941, when a mass of almost 20,000 Jews from Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, Germany and Luxemburg (including the district of Leslau-Leszno in the Wartheland) – generally called “Western Jews” – was deported and resettled in the ghetto.

In order to accommodate them, Rumkowski ordered the closing of ghetto schools and the conversion of school building into reception centers. The schools were never to open again. For the deportees the reality of the Lodz ghetto was a shattering experience from which most never recovered. They felt foreign among the Lodz Jews, they could not adapt to the horrid living conditions and could not comprehend the purpose of this resettlement. Many of them readily went to their final deportation in 1942 to the death camp in Chelmno, convinced that nothing worse than their life in the ghetto could happen to them.

On December 7, 1941, the first Nazi death camp located in Chelmno, some seventy kilometers from Lodz, began its experimental run. Several Jewish communities from the neighboring towns were annihilated there between December 7 and January 14, 1942 – altogether some 6,400 people. The killing vans in which the victims were suffocated by means of exhaust fumes replaced the execution squads of the Einsatzgruppen as both more efficient and less “disturbing”. Even when supplanted by the gas chambers of other death camps, the vans remained in use until July 1944. Over 250,000 Jews from Wartheland were annihilated in Chelmno. Of this number over 70,000 came from the Lodz ghetto.

January 5, 1941 – September 12, 1942

Deportation to and from the Lodz ghetto in 1942 were in step with the Nazi policy of disposing of all unproductive groups including children and old people. The Lodz ghetto was to become a labor camp where nothing mattered but work. Those few survivors of the destroyed communities who were deported to the Lodz ghetto in 1942 had been spared because they were skilled workers.

The first hint of impeding deportation came in a speech by Rumkowski on December 20, 1941, when he announced that a contingent of 10,000 persons had been requested by the Germans for deportation. He further stated that this contingent would be filled with criminal elements, welfare recipients who did not participate in the public works program and black marketeers. On December 30, 1941, an announcement was issued that until further notice all ghetto residents were strictly forbidden to shelter strangers or relatives not registered as members of the household. Finally, on January 5, 1942, the Resettlement Commission nominated by Rumkowski began compiling lists of deportees.

The first transport left Lodz for Chelmno on January 16, 1942. From this day the ghetto was obliged to deliver a contingent of 1,000 persons daily until the quota set by the Nazis was filled. The deportations were halted on January 29 after 10,103 people had left the ghetto.

The process resumed with an even greater intensity on February 22, 1942 and lasted until April 2, 1942. During this phase of deportations, 34,073 lives were extinguished.

Finally, on May 4 the deportation of the “Western” Jews was announced, notwithstanding the fact that they had come to the ghetto only six months earlier. Excluded from this deportation were the former recipients of German or Austrian military awards earned during the First World War and a number of professionals employed in the ghetto administration. By May 15, 1942, 10,161 persons had been deported from the ghetto.

The total number of deportees between January and May 1942 was 54,990 persons, more than one-third of the ghetto population.

To force deportees to come to the transport point the Nazis used the weapon of hunger, curtailing deliveries of food to the ghetto and at the same time providing meals for those who came to the train. This tactic was repeated in all subsequent deportations.

In the middle of it all Rumkowski urged prospective deportees time and again to sell furniture and other property to his “purchasing agencies,” to deposit their belonging until they returned. Nor did he forget to demand that the families of the deported surrender their ration cards.

The next wave of deportation from Lodz was directed against children, the aged and the infirm. This time the ghetto Jews had information of what was to happen and an attempt was made to hide some of the children among the ghetto work force in the summer months of 1942. By July 20 there were about 13,000 children and adolescents employed in the workshops and factories. However, younger children and old people left defenseless.

The deportation began on September 1, 1942 with the removal of the sick from five ghetto hospitals and two preventoriums. On this day, 374 adult and 320 children were deported to the death camp.

On September 5, 1942, a general curfew (Gesperre in German, sphere in Yiddish) was announced until further notice. The residents of old age homes and orphanages were the first to be taken to the train. After that, the Ordnungsienst (Jewish police) had to make house searches in order to find children and take them away from their parents. The results of the first day’s searches were so meager that the German ghetto administration and the Gestapo decided to take matters into their own hands, and the ghetto became the scene of a vicious manhunt. By September 12, it was all over. There were 600 dead in ghetto streets and homes. 15,859 victims had been taken to transports.

On September 12, 1942, the curfew was lifted. Rumkowski announced the opening of all kitchens on September 13 and promised an improvement in the food situation.

September 13, 1942 – June 14, 1944

After the deportation of 1942 there were almost two years of relative stability in the Lodz ghetto. At a time when there were no more ghettos in the Wartheland and all the ghettos in the General Government were being liquidated one after another, the Lodz ghetto continued to exist as a giant labor camp. During 1942 and 1943 its usefulness to the Nazi war machine was beyond doubt, so much so that all attempts by Himmler and the SS to liquidate the ghetto were successfully frustrated by the manpower-starved Nazi armament authorities. Himmler’s plan to convert the ghetto into a concentration camp (which would bring it under the control of the SS) and transfer its much diminished population to the Lublin district, where they would become part of the slave labor complex under Odilo Globocnik, was never materialized.

This situation inside the ghetto was different from previous years. By 1943 there were 87,000 Jews in the ghetto, and eighty-five percent of this total number were working in the ghetto plants of offices. Many communal services were discontinued. There were no schools, orphanages or summer camps. Relief activities were discontinued. The Rabbinate and all religious institutions were liquidated. The Sabbath and religious holidays were abolished. There were few children and almost no old people in the ghetto.

Nazi supervision of the ghetto was now even more evident than ever. Many of Rumkowski’s prerogatives were gradually taken from him. The most important instrument of his power, the distribution of food, was personally taken over by Hans Biebow, the chief of the German ghetto administration, in October 1943. The administration offices were reduced or altogether liquidated and their employees transferred to the ghetto plants. The Sonderkommando – a special unit of the Ordnungsdienst that was in charge of expropriations, operations against the black market and political espionage – now gained strength because of their close ties to the Germans. Rumkowski now had to share much of his power with the managers of labor workshops and plants, whose role in the ghetto increased immensely.

June 15, 1944 – January 19, 1945

On June 10, 1944, Himmler ordered the Nazi chief of the Wartheland, Arthur Greiser to begin liquidation of the ghetto without further delay. In view of the Allies’ continuing military offensives and victories, the usefulness of this labor force became debatable and thus the fate of the ghetto was sealed. On June 15, the Gestapo chief in Lodz, Bradfisch, informed Rumkowski that workers were needed inside Germany to repair the damages inflicted by the Allied bombings. He demanded a weekly contingent of 3,000 persons. The next day Rumkowski announced the new deportations and appealed for voluntary sign-ups. The Inter-Division Commission, which included top ghetto officials, was to draft the deportation lists. The deportees were allowed to take along 15 kg of luggage and were to receive food rations for three days.

The first transport in this wave of deportations left ghetto on June 23, 1944. By July 15, 1944, 7,196 people were deported. The destination was, as before, Chelmno.

On July 15, the deportations were suddenly halted. At that time, the Soviet Red Army was already advancing through ethnic Polish territories in an offensive, which eventually brought it the banks of Vistula. The Nazis had decided to liquidate the death camp in Chelmno and obliterated its traces.

After two weeks the deportations from the ghetto were resumed. This much time had been needed to re-direct the transport traffic to Auschwitz where the remaining Jewish population of Lodz was to perish during the month of August. The Soviet offensive was halted some 130 km east of Lodz and was not resumed until January 1945.

On August 2, 1944, Rumkowski made public, in Announcement No. 417, that “on the instructions of the Mayor of Litzmannstadt” the ghetto would be evacuated to an undisclosed location. “The plant crews will go together as units and the families of workers will join them.” Five thousand ghetto residents were to show up daily at the processing centers.

During this month of the Lodz ghetto, Rumkowski wrote a total of twenty-six announcements and warnings in order to ensure an orderly deportation. As his appeals for voluntary submission fell on deaf ears, he resorted to threats of reprisal, should the Germans “take the course of the deportation into their own hands.” After a week of almost futile efforts of persuading the ghetto Jews to come to the trains, several German police units entered the ghetto on August 8, 1944 and began to drag people to the railroad station. On August 9, 1944, all plants in the ghetto were ordered closed. That same day the western part of the ghetto was closed off and all residents were ordered to move to the eastern part. Such a reduction of the ghetto area was an effective method to speed the deportation, because residents lost their homes and food rations. They were thus an easy target for police once they entered the smaller ghetto. By August 24, 1944, after two reductions, the area of the ghetto had been diminished to four streets and eighty-three houses.

By the end of August 1944 over 68,500 Jews from the Lodz ghetto had been deported to Auschwitz. Rumkowski and his family boarded the train on August 28, 1944. The Lodz ghetto ceased to exist. When the Soviet and Polish army units entered Lodz on January 19, 1945, they found only 877 Jews who had been left in the former ghetto by the Nazis to carry out clean-up operations.

The good news first: our dear boy telegraphed to Robert. He received it on February 21. He is healthy and everything is all right. You can imagine how happy I was, because I did not expect to receive a message from him after all this time, frankly spoken. What a wonderful surprise! And I am about to tell you about it so that you can be happy as well. If only you would receive my messages; if only I would be sure that I am not writing without any sense and that you can be relieved that everything is good over here and that I have enough to eat etc. Unfortunately I do not receive any messages from you. The uncle did not receive anything either, I got his letter just yesterday. Vally received a confirmation of moneytransfer with father’s signature but that was all we got for months! All the fear and concern that goes through our minds, you can imagine how that must feel! The confirmation was sent to Cologne by the way, they mixed it up with Kolin. That is why it was delayed. We received a package of Dyna with cookies yesterday. How polite of the people, right? I hope you, my beloved ones, are healthy and able to write soon. With all my love for you I pray for your sanity and send you plenty of kisses. Your son, signature.

Dearest children!

We received your postcard as well as the 10 RM. We are so thankful because my salary at Arbeitsressort is so low that it brought us much mizbar (sic!). Many weeks ago Sonia wrote that she would send us money, so when I was at work, the parents said it came from Sonia. Can you imagine father’s joy? Probably, Mother says that your effort is better as Sonia’s effort because with you it is all about the will not the money. Dear Fella, today I am a bit more patient because I worked less, only until 4 in the afternoon and so this is already my second postcard. I don’t write to Sonia because I do not have the patience since she does not want to understand me (illegible). You only need to be happy that we are healthy because last year the father was so weak that he could only stay in bed.

Best wishes. Write to us what Wolf is doing. All his belongings are with us.

It hurts me that my dear Leonie is not well because she has such a good heart and has done so many good things and still does if she has the possibility. The worst thing is that I do not hear from my son Ludwik because he would have helped me. I need at least 15 RM per month, and I have no one to ask that of but you. You want me to keep all my money together but how, I am all alone hier and sick, do you understand that? Farewell and do not forget me. Yours, Siegmund

Sub-Collection 8: RG-72.08, Correspondences from and to German labor service, 1940 --1945

German economy widely used foreign labor in industry and agriculture. In the early period of the Second World War, German authorities advertised how advantageous work and life in Germany would be for foreign workers. Later in the war, when German economy experienced a shortage of workforce, German administration in the occupied territories commenced mandatory labor conscriptions. Civilians were called up for labor service in Germany. Forcefully transported to Germany, they would undergo selection process and then distributed to the various industrial enterprises and also private agricultural establishment, as well as for home aid service. At the close of the war, the German labor and economic service under the auspices of the SS, started using prisoners of war and regular prisoners of concentration camps for forced labor in German economy.

This Collection contains correspondences of people who largely volunteered for German labor service, as well as of those who were conscripted to forced labor in Germany. There are also letters sent to laborers from their home countries. Since German labor service was not regarded as incarceration, there was no mandatory German language requirement for this correspondences. There letters written in Polish, Czech, Russian, Ukrainian and other European languages. A number of letters are in German.
