“Ghetto Luck”: A Kilim from the Łódź Ghetto

The exhibition “On Displaying Violence: First Exhibitions on the Nazi Occupation in Europe, 1945–1948” features many extraordinary artefacts. Among these, a kilim – a flat-woven tapestry – from the Łódź ghetto holds a special place, as Dr. Zofia Trębacz from the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute Warsaw describes in her article. The object is on public display for the first time in several decades.
