Around 400 items that were believed to have been hidden by their Jewish owners during World War II were recently discovered during a house and yard renovation in Lodz, Poland, the\u00a0Associated Press<\/a>\u00a0reported this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose residents who buried these items did so most likely thinking that they would one day return for them, that they would be able to retrieve them,\u201d Lodz Deputy Mayor Adam Pustelnik said. \u201cMost likely, these people lost their lives [in the Holocaust]. Such stories are truly rare and precious and also are a great lesson for us all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The objects found in December \u2014 including menorahs, tableware, glass containers for cosmetics and other daily use items \u2014 were hidden in a wooden box and wrapped in newspapers, said Warbud construction company building inspector Krzysztof Hejmanowski, whose team discovered the items. Two of the uncovered menorahs were lit on Dec. 22 during Hanukkah in a celebration organized by the city\u2019s Jewish community, the AP noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trove of items were found just outside what was once the Litzmannstadt Ghetto, which was established by the Nazis in February 1940. Until its liquidation in the summer of 1944, the ghetto held nearly 200,000 Jews, most of whom died in the ghetto or were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, according to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ma\u0142gorzata Loeffler, a Municipal Investment Administration official, said the discovered items and their past evoke \u201cemotion and deep thought about the fact that we are not alone, that we leave something behind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The recovered objects will be given to Lodz\u2019s Museum of Archeology and Ethnography, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n
