[1] Separated from one another only by a high fence made of planks, the children's camp was located within the Ghetto section of the city bordering roughly today's streets of Bracka, Emilii Plater, Gornicza, and Zagajnikowa.
[3] The 1,600 child labourers performed work closely connected with the industrial output of the ghetto, with Jewish instructors.
When the camp began to function above its main entrance gate from Przemysłowa Street, a large signboard with the full name appeared.
The area of the camp was surrounded by a high wooden crevice fence made by a Jewish construction brigade taken from the ghetto.
[6] According to the assumptions, the camp was to be a place of detention for Polish youth: caught in petty crimes, homeless or whose parents were arrested or executed.
[8] In the first days of the end of the German occupation in Łódź (after January 19, 1945) older children left the camp and went alone to their family homes.
In the 1960s, a housing estate consisting of 4-storey blocks of flats was erected in and around the former camp as part of a thorough reconstruction of this peripheral area of the city.
