About the museum
Radegast Station is a railway building from 1941, which was built in connection with the ghetto established in Łódź (Litzmannstadt) by the German occupation authorities in 1940. Initially it served as a transshipment point for food and raw materials intended for the population and workplaces in the ghetto.
From January 1942 the station became the place from which Jewish people were deported to the German Nazi extermination camps at Chełmno nad Nerem (Kulmhof) and at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today the building is a place of remembrance, part of the Litzmannstadt Getto Holocaust Monument (Pomnik Zagłady Litzmannstadt Getto), which was created in 2004, and the seat of a branch of the Museum of Independence Traditions (Muzeum Tradycji Niepodległościowych) in Łódź.
As part of the branch, visitors can see a model of the Litzmannstadt ghetto and the monument, and temporary exhibitions are also held here. The museum also runs educational classes here, guided tours and walks around the grounds of the former ghetto. When visiting the place, it is worth keeping in mind its character: it is devoted to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
