Pictured Above: A September 2, 1943, postal card from an inmate at the Litzmannstadt (Łódź) Gestapo prison at Robert-Koch-Strasse 16, with a red manuscript censor scrawl. Note that the prisoner wrote the town name as “L-stadt,” which was probably a dual protest that went unnoticed by the Nazis. First, he could have meant it to mean Łódź, the Polish name; second, he avoided writing the name of General Karl Litzmann, the Nazi conqueror for whom the town had been renamed.
