This book chronicles about 1,800 known members of the ENGEL
family. The family originated in Poland, some members migrated to the United Kingdom, the
United States and Palestine prior to World War II. Those that remained suffered terrible losses
during the Holocaust. The book links all known Holocaust survivors and their descendants with
the descendants of those that emigrated before the war and documents their inter-relations.
Included with the book is a computer diskette containing the entire family database, plus all
necessary software to perform fairly sophisticated searches and other functions on most DOS-
based personal computers. No special computer skills or other software is required from the
user.

Prominent Jews of Lodz, Poland
During the Hundred Years Before World War II
Jan M. Engel
This brochure is primarily an alphabetic index of persons referred to in three
recently published books about the key Jewish families in Lodz. The members of these families
contributed to the amazing growth of both culture and industry in pre-World War II Lodz. The
three books are:
- Szkice z dziejow Gminy Zydowskiej oraz cmentarza w Lodzi (Sketches from the
annals of the Jewish community as well as the cemeteries of Lodz), by Izaak Kersz,
Oficyna Bibliofilow, Lodz, 1996.
- Zydzi w Lodzi (The Jews in Lodz) issued in Lodz during the Jewish culture
exhibition in 1990.
- Jews in Lodz 1820-1939, a series of 16 articles that appeared in Polin, A
Journal of Polish Jewish Studies, Vol. 6, Institute for Polish-Jewish Studies, Blackwell,
Oxford, 1991.
Approximately 600 families are listed. Many of the cited persons are related to each other. As
an aid to genealogists, a comment section has been added in which some of these relationships
have been identified.
