Jewish Life vs. Present Life

Scene in the Lodz ghetto marketplace. Jakubowicz's model of the Lodz ghetto recreates, on a small scale, the physical appearance of the ghetto, creating the shape of the model to mimic the exact boundaries, streets, and buildings that had a major impact on daily life in the ghetto. Lodz, Poland, between 1940 and 1944.


Prior to WWII, Jewish lives were normal because they were shopping at a marketplace that everyone does in their normal life. The picture that i chose was a picture of a Kroger Marketplace that my family and I always shop at. The people in the first picture are shopping for pots and pans and other necessary utensils for every day use just like we do at Kroger. In the first picture, the things that we on sale were on the ground and stacked and not organized. At Kroger, everything is on shelves and organized and has prices on them. The people in the first picture are looking for things and it might be hard for them to find certain things. At Kroger, there are sections and signs for each thing so it's easy to find.
