Łódź
Łódź in literature and cinema

Three major novels depict the development of industrial Łódź: Władysław Reymont 's The Promised Land (1898), Joseph Roth 's Hotel Savoy (1924) and Israel Joshua Singer 's The Brothers Ashkenazi (1937). Roth's novel depicts the city on the eve of a workers' riot in 1919. Reymont's novel was made into a film by Andrzej Wajda in 1975. In the 1990 film Europa Europa, Solomon Perel 's family flees pre-World War II Berlin and settles in Łódź. Paweł Pawlikowski 's film Ida was partially shot in Łódź. Chava Rosenfarb's Yiddish trilogy "The Tree of Life" (1972; English translation 1985) portrays life within the Łódź Ghetto.
