A March of Remembrance of the last Jews in the Lodz, Poland ghetto 63 years ago was held in the city Wednesday. The mayor of Lodz, the Israeli Ambassador to Poland and the chief rabbi of Poland led the march from the Jewish cemetery to the site of the former train station.

The Nazis initially forced Polish Jews into the small ghetto after occupying Poland in 1940. Nazi terror between 1942 and 1944 resulted in the gas chamber deaths of more than 200,000 Lodz Jews at Nazi death camps.  About 12,000 people were saved before the last train took victims to the Auschwitz death camp August 29, 1944.
