Rumkowski and the Orphans of Lodz

Literary Nonficiton. Jewish Studies. With Rebecca Fromer. RUMKOWSKI AND THE ORPHANS OF ÅÃ“DÅ¹ is a chilling account of a young woman's experiences in the notorious ÅÃ³dÅº Ghetto. The ghetto was lorded over by Chaim Rumkowski, Nazi-appointed Jewish Elder of ÅÃ³dÅº and former head of the orphanage. Many have long hailed Rumkowski as a hero who did the best he could leading his community through the worst of circumstances. Now Lucille Eichengreen shares, with firsthand evidence, how Chaim Rumkowski flouted his authority through collaboration, corruption, and the abuse of its children.
