The article recalls and briefly characterises publications regarding the Łódź ghetto, beginning with the earliest ones. The author focuses predominantly on works by German historians published during the last decade. The author demonstrates that after years of looking at the subject matter of Holocaust from the perpetrators’ perspective the researchers are becoming increasingly interested in the perspective of the victim and the everyday life in ghettoes in occupied Polish territories. The longest functioning ghetto and the place where Jews from many Western European countries were deported to, the ghetto in Łódź remains in the centre of attention, which results in continuous publication of works presenting its history.
