In less than a century, the Jews of Łódź turned from being confined to a small, overcrowded Jewish district to a major partner in forming the industrial town. Nonetheless, this full participation did not last long. When the ghetto gates were open, Łódź Jews left all they had built and moved to the once confined area and its vicinity. This paper brings together new sources, methodologies, and practices from spatial studies and digital humanities. It results in presenting new information and a different perspective on the already researched Jewish community in Łódź. It highlights how Jews contributed to the city’s growth and how living in the industrial town affected the urbanity of the Jewish community in Łódź
