Jugendschutzlager Litzmannstadt in Lodz, Poland

Hello all,

Came across a photo of a Group of SS officers at this "Jugendschutzlager Litzmannstadt" located in Lodz, Poland.

Said it was a Concentration camp for polish Juveniles in Lodz, I have never heard of such a place or knew that the SS had
such places. Would anybody here have more details or know where I can find any info on this place ?

Thank you Medi.

The officer on the left might be Karl Ehrlich - the camp commandant.

Here he is at rollcall:

The concentration camp for Polish kids operated from 1 December1942 to 19 January 1945.

Two texts on the subject, unfortunately none in English:

Józef Witkowski: Hitlerowski Obóz Koncentracyjny dla małoletnich w Łodzi, Breslau (Wrocław) 1975

Hepp, Michael: Denn ihrer ward die Hölle. Kinder und Jugendliche im "Jugendverwahrlager Litzmannstadt", in: Mitteilungen der Dokumentationsstelle zur NS-Sozialpolitik, April 1986, Heft 11/12, S. 49-71 ISSN 0179-4299
