Survivors’ Park (Polish: Park Ocalałych w Łodzi) is a park in Łódź commemorating people who went through the Ghetto Litzmannstadt. It was established in 2004, during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the liquidation of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto, on the initiative of Halina Elczewska, a woman who survived the occupation. The park is located in the former territory of Lodz Ghetto, between Wojska Polskiego Street and allotment gardens at Sporna Street in the valley of the Lodz River, in the area adjacent to the borders of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto during the war in Smugowa Street. The park consists of nearly 600 trees commemorating people who survived the Holocaust. Each tree is assigned to a specific survivor, and there are also plates with their names on the main park alley. Additionally, in the park there is an 8-meter-long Memorial Mound with a bench-monument to Jan Karski, the Marek Edelman Dialogue Center and a Monument to Poles Saving Jews during World War II.
