Abstract:
In the autumn of 1941, 20,000 Jews were deported into the Łódź ghetto from the Reich and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Most of them were elderly people, with many infirm ones. Their arrival exacerbated the already harsh conditions in the ghetto, but change was quite drastic- they were crowded in so-called "collectives", doomed to vegetats without basic facilities and increasing starvation. Ghetto administration established a special office to deal with these thousands of people: Department for the "Insettled". It dealt with all the existential and organizational matters of the deportees. The article discusses the Depart ment's functions and activities and outlines the situations of the "insettled" in the ghetto on the basis of archival materials and personal documents.
