Muzeum Stacja Radegast

The Radegast station was originally a preserved railway building from 1941. During World War II, the station and its surroundings belonged to the Litzmannstadt-Getto, founded by the Germans in 1940 in Lodz. Initially, the facility served as a transshipment point for products, food, raw materials for the population and ghetto laboratories and products made by Jews. From January 1942, the Radegast station became the place from which Jews and Romans were brought to extermination camps.

Today the Stacja building is part of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto Extermination Monument, a memorial site for those tragic events and the headquarters of the Museum of Independence Traditions in Łódź. In its historical interior there are educational activities, meetings and exhibitions related to the history of the Jewish community in Lodz and Litzmannstadt-Getto.
