Ghetto Night was an annual event held on the third Sunday of August at Camp Hemshekh, serving as a day-long commemoration of Jewish partisans and victims of the Holocaust.
[7][8] The event concluded with the camp walking in single file along a torch-lit path to the "Ghetto Denkmol" as the melody of Ani Ma'amin played softly in the background.
The second version was a replica of a ghetto wall topped with barbed wire and embedded glass, along with six black signposts symbolizing the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
During rest hour, selected campers rehearsed Yiddish musical numbers in preparation for performances on Visiting Day, the midsummer Holocaust commemoration, or other cultural events.
[9] A banner above the stage in the hall where plays and social events were held displayed the phrase Lomir trogn dem gayst vos men hot undz fartroyt—"Let us carry the spirit that has been entrusted to us."
A rock garden used for campfires and meetings was named in honor of Froim Lozer, a Bundist who advocated for the establishment of a public park in Łódź for industrial workers.
Wooden commemorative plaques were attached to trees throughout the camp, bearing the names of historical figures associated with Jewish resistance and activism, including Henryk Ehrlich, Victor Alter, Mordechai Anielewicz, Szmuel Zygielbojm and Emanuel Ringelblum.
