Łódź: Poland's Great Comeback City
Łódź is the third largest city in Poland and, if you're a native English speaker, you most likely have no idea how to pronounce its name (it's 'woodge')! In the 1800s there were more than 400 factories in Łódź that made the city very rich quite quickly. Unfortunately, after WWII, the riches evaporated and the city went into decline. Nowadays, the city is embracing its industrial past and making a huge comeback. It's a popular place for students and artists, which gives Łódź a youthful and creative energy. The abandoned factories are being reinvented and repurposed into incredible multifunctional spaces. The first and best example of this is Manufaktura. Łódź is definitely worth a visit.
Huge thank you to the Polish Tourism Organization for having us!

Łódź (Poland)
Łódź is the third-largest city in Poland. It is the capital of Łódź Voivodeship, and is approximately 135 kilometres (84 mi) south-west of Warsaw. The city's coat of arms is an example of canting: depicting a boat. It alludes to the city's name which translates literally as boat. The city is internationally known for its National Film School, a cradle for the most renowned Polish actors and directors, including Andrzej Wajda and Roman Polanski.
The Piotrkowska Street, which remains the high-street and main tourist attraction in the city, runs north to south for a little over five kilometres (3.1 miles). This makes it one of the longest commercial streets in the world. Łódź has one of the best museums of modern art in Poland, Muzeum Sztuki, on Więckowskiego (ms1) and Ogrodowa (ms2) Street, which displays a 20th and 21st century art collection.
The city has an international airport: Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport located 6 kilometres (4 miles) from the city centre. Flights connect the city with destinations in Europe and Turkey.
Historic Jewish Cemetery in Łódź, Poland.
The Łódź Jewish Cemetery, also known as the New Jewish Cemetery, was once the largest Jewish cemetery in Poland and one of the largest in the world. Located in the city of Łódź on Bracka Street, the necropolis was opened in 1892 and occupies around 44 hectares of land. The cemetery contains from 180,000 to 230,000[ marked graves, as well as mass graves of victims of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto and the Holocaust. From 1893 to 1896, the basic construction of the necropolis was completed under the supervision of well-known architect Adolf Zeligson. (Wikipedia)
Today over a hundred of historical gravesites have been declared historical monuments and are in various stages of restoration. The mausoleum of Izrael Poznański is perhaps the largest Jewish tombstone in the world and the only one containing decorative mosaic.
The cemetery continues to function as a Jewish burial site.

Piotrkowska Street, Łódź, Łódź Province, Poland, Europe
Piotrkowska Street, the main artery of Łódź, Poland, is one of the longest commercial thoroughfares in Europe, with a length of 4.9 km. It is one of the major tourist attractions of the city. It runs longitudinally in the straight line between the Liberty Square (Plac Wolności) and the Independence Square. From the very beginning this street was the central axis, around which the city grew bigger, and its development spontaneously gave the present shape to its centre. At first the city was mainly the highway, but later it changed into the city's showcase, the leisure and shopping centre, where the life of growing industrial agglomeration could be observed. The street deteriorated remarkably after the World War II. Only after 1990 was it revitalized step by step and changed into a kind of pedestrian precinct. It has a function similar to a market square of old towns in other cities. Nowadays the buildings, town-planning, institutions, restaurants, clubs and pubs situated next to this street, create its specific atmosphere, which is said to have a cult character reaching even outside of Łódź. In the beginning, the present Piotrkowska Street functioned as a route joining Piotrków Trybunalski and Zgierz. On this path a small, roadside urban settlement called Łódź was located. In 1821 Rajmund Rembieliński - the president of the Commission of the Province of Mazovia took some action in order to regulate the building development in the industrial settlement. This settlement was called The New Town and it was situated in the south from the old Łódź. On the street plan of the settlement, the route line was outlined, and along it the cross streets and standard 17,5–21 meters wide plots with a surface area of one morgen, allotted to weaving craftsmen. Standard houses were built on those plots – a workshop, which stood facing the route, whereas the rest of the plot was a garden for the owner's family. At the northern end of the route, the New Town Market was outlined (now the Liberty Square), which had stood in the south from the Old Town Market. At first (around 1815) the name Piotrkowska Street was used to describe the northern part of the route joining both markets, whereas the southern part (the present Piotrkowska Street) didn't have any name. This means that Piotrkowska Street was a kind of courtyard and market for the huge manufacture of Łódź, so for the whole New Town. The fact that Łódź had this function, is the reason why in this city never developed anything like a classical city centre with a centrally situated market and co-centrally expanding commercial institutions and public organizations, and Piotrkowska Street took on this role. Before 1990 Piotrkowska Street didn't differ much from other streets, although it was the most important street in the city. The plans of changing Piotrkowska Street into a pedestrian zone, resulted only in moving the trams to a horizontal Promenade (today called Kościuszki Avenue). Before this change the promenade had a function of a pedestrian avenue. In its centre there was a wide green belt, which later on was used as a tram line. There was not enough of political will to change Piotrkowska Street into a real pedestrian precinct, although this idea came back from time to time. The first step was the gradual reduction of street traffic by introducing no parking or you must turn signs on almost every crossroad from Mickiewicza Avenue to the Independence Square. In 1945-1990 the street suffered from the gradual degradation. Until the 1970s the old, eclectic tenement houses weren't considered by the authorities of those days as historic monuments. Several of them were destroyed and in their places office buildings and shopping centers were built, usually in the international style. In the 1980s some falling off decorative elements of the elevation, dangerous for the passers-by, were simply removed from the walls, even though the renovation of some chosen buildings had already begun. The character of the street changed only after 1990. In this year an architect and a member of an artistic group Łódź Kaliska, Marek Janiak, came up with the idea of creating the Foundation of Piotrkowska Street. Its goal was to revitalize this street and turning it into a pedestrian precinct. As the first one, a distance between Piłsudskiego Avenue and Tuwima Street was excluded from traffic. It was covered with colorful cobblestones and equipped with modernistic street lights and other elements of the so-called street furniture. It was strongly criticized by art conservatives and culture historians, because it didn't suit the general climate of the street. The next parts of the street in the northern direction to the Liberty Square were revitalized and excluded from street traffic in 1993-1997. They were paved with black cobblestones imitating the old pavement and equipped with more and more beautiful elements of the so-called street furniture.
Manufactura -Lodz-Poland
The Manufaktura is a shopping, art, and leisure complex in Łódź, Poland, and it occupies the space between Zachodnia, Ogrodowa, Drewnowska, and Karskiego Streets.
The Manufaktura was opened on 17 May 2006, after five years of planning, and following four years of construction. The total area of the complex is 27 ha. The construction involved a revival of an old building. The Manufaktura is located in the central part of the city, in the former industrial complex founded by Izrael Poznański, known as a filming location for, e.g. Władysław Reymont's Promised Land

Portland Art Museum's photography exhibition, Memory Unearthed: The Lodz Ghetto Photographs of Henryk Ross, and it's companion exhibition at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, The Last Journey of the Jews of Lodz, many have many similarities, but they do act as bookends to one another.

Vlog Erasmus – Cinematography Museum of Łódź, Poland
Opened in 1986 inside Karol Scheibler’s extraordinary 19th-century palace, the Cinematography Museum offers visitors two unique attractions in one. The museum itself offers a well-presented history of Polish cinema and takes plenty of hats off to the multitude of Polish film greats who studied in the city before going on to greater things, as well as numerous changing exhibitions. This is the only museum of its kind in Poland, and though badly signposted (don’t be surprised to find yourself directed to blind alleys or opening secret doors to reveal private offices), it represents a rewarding experience for fans of Polish cinema. The collection features over 50,000 items including over 12,000 film posters, art exhibits and projectors and camera equipment of every kind. Standouts include the recently renovated Fotoplastikon - a giant drum-like contraption popular in the early 20th century for showing 3D films, and the excellent exhibit devoted to animated photography featuring plenty of vintage stop-motion characters and accompanying clips. The newest exhibit in the permanent collection is called Palace Full of Fairy Tales and is devoted to the heroes of Polish cult cartoon shorts and features (Moomins, Reksio).
The museum also hosts a few Oscar statues of the Oscar-awarded movies “Ida”, who won the American Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 2015, “Afterimage”, or “Inspector Alex”.
The palace itself is a dream, featuring room upon room of delights, including the city’s first electric lift, some beautiful tiled stoves, a Turkish smoking room and many other treats besides. Built in 1856 to serve as residence for industrialist fat cat Karol Scheibler the palace contains interiors designed in Venice, Berlin and Dresden, including ceramic tiled stoves and dramatic oak panelling.
Deschis în anul 1986 în interiorul extraordinarului palat al lui Karol Scheibler din secolul al XIX-lea, Muzeul Cinematografiei oferă vizitatorilor două atracții unice. Muzeul în sine prezinta o istorie foarte bine structurata a cinematografiei poloneze precum si activitatea a numerosi cineasti polonezi care au studiat în oraș înainte de a avea realizari de exceptie in industria cinematografica. Exista de asemenea si o serie de expozitii in interiorul muzeului. Acesta este singurul muzeu de acest gen din Polonia si ofera o serie de surprize cum ar fi deschiderea unor usi secrete pentru a descoperi birouri private. Vizitarea acestui muzeu reprezintă o experiență unica pentru fanii cinematografiei poloneze si nu numai. Colecția muzeului cuprinde peste 50.000 de articole, incluzand peste 12.000 de afișe de film, exponate de artă și echipamente de filmare de diverse tipuri. Se remarca fotoplastikonul recent renovat care este o mașinărie gigantică de tip tambur, populară la începutul secolului al XX-lea, pentru prezentarea filmelor 3D și o expoziție extraordinara dedicată fotografiei animate care conține o mulțime de personaje vintage și clipuri de prezentare. Cea mai nouă expoziție din colecția permanentă este numită Palatul plin de basme și este dedicată personajelor poloneze din benzile desenate de scurt sau lung metraj cum ar fi: Moomins sau Reksio.
Muzeul găzduiește, de asemenea, câteva statuete Oscar din filmele premiate cu Oscar cum ar fi Ida, care a castigat in anul 2015 premiul Academiei Americane pentru cel mai bun film strain, Afterimage sau Inspector Alex.
Cladirea in care se afla muzeul, adica palatul în sine este un vis, oferind oferind privelisti extraordinare in fiecare camera, inclusiv primul lift electric al orașului, niște sobe frumoase din țiglă, o cameră de fumat turcească și multe alteele. Construită în 1856 pentru a servi drept reședință a prosperului om de afaceri, Karol Scheibler, palatul conține interioare proiectate în Veneția, Berlin și Dresda, incluzând sobe cu gresie din ceramică și panouri din lemn de stejar.

Poznanski Palace in Lodz, Poland
Palace of Poznanski family in Lodz, Poland. One of the most eminent entrepreneurs in the Russian-dominated part of Poland, Poznański was the son of a Jewish merchant of Kowal, who built up a textile empire and became, next to Karl/Karol Scheibler, the most important manufacturer of Łódź, a 'multicultural' city mainly populated by Poles (Catholic and Jewish) and Germans. The bourgeoisie of these groups was described in Reymont's novel about Łódź The Promised Land (Ziemia Obiecana), later filmed by Andrzej Wajda.
The largest 19th Century textile factory complex which was built by Izrael Poznanski has been turned into a shopping centre called Manufaktura which is an example of a modern business which operates in restored nineteenth century buildings.
