Stamps and parts of sealed envelopes from the Lodz ghetto
Six stamps and two parts of Print stamps envelopes (one signed) from the Lodz ghetto - the stamps were issued by the chairman of the Lodz ghetto Judenrat, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, with the image of his portrait, alongside a Star of David and working Jews (according to Rumkowski's belief that as long as the ghetto is a productive place The Nazis will keep the Jews alive in it).
The stamps in the values of 5, 10 and 20 were printed in sheets of 20 stamps in March 1944 and were used for a very short time, after the Germans banned to continued printing them. The shape of the stamp printed on the body of the envelope (and not as a stamp separately) is almost unknown.
The stamp illustrator was Pinchas Schwartz and later became an illustrator and painter known as Pinchas Shaar (his father owned a carpentry shop, and was chairman of the Lodz Jewish Carpenters Association). In the ghetto, Shaar worked as an artist in the "Statistics" Office, illustrating the Lodz ghetto stamps.
general condition good.
