Abstract:
The organizations mentioned in this article were tasked with preserving source material con cerning the fate of Jews during the war and prepare p task was carried out in a manner depending on external conditions and methodological dif mina studies on the topic. This ferences.In Warsaw, albeit in the underground, it was possible to gather materials from the entire territory of pre-war Poland. In Łódź, the "official character of one's work made it impossible to maintain full objectivity, especially in the field of health and deportations. In Lódź, the main source were official materials (documents, official interviews). In Warsaw, materials were sought not only in the existing canon of historical sources, but also among such sources that were the basis for sociological studies of that time. Both collections survived the war, albeit damaged, and are the basis for research into the history of both ghettos, but the significance of the Ringelblum Archive is much greater in view of far more serious damages in official documentation. On the other hand, the Łódź ghetto col lection have been used to a lesser extent. This is related to different stages of advancement of research into either of the ghettos and limited interest in the tódź ghetto that lasted a long time.
