Premiera IV tomu monografii – „Łódź poprzez wieki. Historia miasta. Od 1945 roku”

The 4th volume – history of Lodz after World War II

The new volume "Łódź poprzez wieki. Historia miasta. Dzieje Łodzi po 1945 roku" [Lodz Through the Ages. History of the City. History of Lodz after 1945] is devoted to the history of Lodz after World War II, when the city functioned in the reality of the Polish People's Republic, and then in the reality shaped by the changes that began in 1989. The book presents events that distinguish the city from the rest of the country, as well as new interpretations of known facts. It is also the story of a post-industrial city looking for directions of its own development in the 21st century.
