The Children of Bałuty - Memorial Murals

The Children of Bałuty (Dzieci Bałut) records, in mural form, the real images of children (created using archive images of the time) that were interned within the children's camps during WWII in the northern district of Bałuty in Łódź. All confined within the Jewish Ghetto territory, the separate sub-camps were for, respectively, Jewish, Polish and Roma children. Between 05-12 September 1942, 15,681 people - ill, old and the majority of the children were deported to, and murdered, in the Kulmhof camp (in Chełm). The murals are found in many locations around the former ghetto and can be found using an informative map, found in the ticket office of the Jewish cemetery, or, you can download an interactive app from their site, detailing all mural locations.
