The Roma camp in the Łódź ghetto was liquidated during 5–12 January 1942. More than 600 Roma had already died from disease and deprivation in the ghetto; surviving prisoners were taken to Chełmno and murdered. The dates mark the full span of the liquidation; the first date is used in the sheet as its start. This sequence shows how the ghetto became a transit and killing space for Roma as well as for Jews.
