POLAND: LODZ: Litzmannstadt Ghetto, 10 mark, 1943, KM-Tn3, a pleasantly lustrous mint state example, PCGS graded MS61, ex Dr. Robert A. Rosenfeld Collection. The Litzmannstadt (Lodz) ghetto was established as an industrial base to manufacture war supplies. The Nazis set up a Jewish council and appointed Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski to keep order. From 1942 to 1943, tokens were struck in the name of the Jewish Elders of Litzmannstadt, the name the Germans chose for the city to honor the German General Karl Litzmann, of WWI fame. These tokens were the only legal currency in the Lodz Ghetto and used to buy what food and medicine they could. Jews traded their personal possessions to acquired these tokens. This item was originally produced by a regime which perpetrated crimes against humanity, war crimes, mass murder, and other acts of violence. Our firm does not endorse such activities and only offers this item as an artifact of history to further research and civil enlightenment.
