Summary/Abstract: Łódź on the threshold of the First World War was a multicultural and in some way neglected multicultural metropolis with increasing after the 1905–1907 revolution religious and national divisions and weak assimilation progress with the Polish culture. It was a “promised land” for wealthy people, particularly of German and Jewish origin. It was a place of great hopes and sometimes of disappointments for the educated who came from other cities in the Congress Poland and peasants from villages outside Łódź. For the majority, particularly for workers, it was a special place where they had to work for a living and tried to find some happiness in this “Eastern Bagdad”.
