Summary/Abstract: Danuta Dąbrowska was the first to research the history of the Łódź ghetto. Born in Germany, she survived the occupation in the Falenica ghetto, and was subsequently hiding on the so-called “Aryan side” in Warsaw. After liberation she took up arts studies and worked at the Jewish Historical Institute, where in the 1960s she prepared several scientific articles on the history of the Łódź ghetto. At the same time, she became involved in work on the Chronicle of the Łódź Ghetto, which was interrupted by the anti-Semitic campaign of March ’68. It was then that Dąbrowska left Poland and settled in Israel, where she continued her scientific work at the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem.
