"In the summer of 1942, hundreds of Jews from Pabianice, Bełchatów, Ozorków, Zelów, Wieluń, Stryków, Sieradz, Łask, and Zduńska Wola were brought to the Łódź ghetto. Transports arrived over many days, during which the Germans were liquidating the so-called provincial ghettos in the Wartheland, and residents not selected for further work in Litzmannstadt were deported to the extermination center in Chełmno nad Nerem. The arriving Jews told of the dramatic events that had befallen thousands of Jewish residents of the region during the liquidation of the ghettos. Details of the resettlement action were recorded in the Chronicle of the Łódź Ghetto and, among others, in the diary of Dawid Sierakowiak. One of the transports from Zduńska Wola was particularly tragic. In the wagon, 28 bodies were found. They had died due to lack of air and water. They were buried in August 1942 along Avenue D in the Jewish cemetery. After the war, tombstones were erected. There will be a modest ceremony to pay tribute to the people of Zduńska Wola by the authorities and representatives of the city."

After the event, Tomasz Polkowski, the head of the ZW museum, gave a talk at the Edelman Dialogue Center about the history of Jews in ZW: "The main focus will be on presenting the history of Jewish settlement in Zduńska Wola, the role of Jews in the development of the city, and the professional and social structure, including migrations, birth rates, and life expectancy. It will cover the involvement of the Jewish community members in the political life of the city, particularly the role and significance of representatives in the city council from various political parties, ranging from Orthodox to Socialists. Daily life will also be depicted through the accounts of three Holocaust survivors and non-Jewish residents of Zduńska Wola. Naturally, an important aspect will be the issues related to the religiosity of this community, specifically the relationships between different Hasidic groups living in Zduńska Wola."
