Poland - 50 pfenning - 1940 - ghetto Lodz - PMG 64 EPQ

50 pfennig receipt issued in the Lodz ghetto in Poland in May 1940. Nazi Germany occupied Poland on September 1, 1939; Lodz was renamed Litzmannstadt and annexed to the German Reich. In February, the Germans forcibly relocated the large Jewish population into a sealed ghetto. All currency was confiscated in exchange for Quittungen [receipts] that could be exchanged only in the ghetto. The scrip was designed by the Judenrat [Jewish Council] and includes traditional Jewish symbols. The Germans closed the ghetto in the summer of 1944 by deporting the residents to concentration camps or killing centers.
