    Content: Under the Third Reich, Nazi Germany undertook an unprecedented effort to refashion the city of Lodz. Home to prewar Poland's second most populous Jewish community, this was to become a German city of enchantment--a modern, clean, and orderly showcase of urban planning and the arts. Central to the undertaking, however, was a crime of unparalleled dimension: the ghettoization, exploitation, and ultimate annihilation of the city's entire Jewish population. This book is an examination of the Jewish ghetto's place in the Nazi worldview. Exploring ghetto life in its broadest context, it maneuvers between the perspectives and actions of Lodz's beleaguered Jewish community, the Germans who oversaw and administered the ghetto's affairs, and the "ordinary" inhabitants of the once Polish city, showing how the Nazis exploited Jewish institutional traditions, social divisions, faith in rationality, and hope for survival to achieve their wider goal of Jewish elimination.--From publisher description.

    Content: Starred Review. The Nazis' use of bureaucracy to achieve their genocidal aims comes through clearly in this historical tour de force. The Nazis attempted to re-engineer the Polish city of Lðdz, home to more than 230,000 Jews (one-third of the city's population) before the war, into a modelラand JudenfreiラGerman city embodying health and beauty they called Litzmannstadt. This required forcing the Jews into a ghetto with the help of Jewish leaders, especially the arrogant, dictatorial and reportedly lascivious industrialist Chaim Rumkowski. With a graceful style rare in academic history, Horwitz, an associate professor of history at Illinois Wesleyan University, marshals a host of primary sources to highlight the gradual destruction of the ghetto. Rumkowski and many ghetto residents hoped that by providing labor for the Nazi war effort, the Lðdz Jews would be kept alive until the defeat of the Germans. At the same time, Horwitz employs eyewitness accounts to show how the Jewish community coped with starvation and disease, and tried to make sense of its terrible conditions. Horwitz's understated prose helps put into relief the full horror of these events. 20 color and 12 b&w illus., 2 maps.
