Sunday 3rd June 2007
On the 8th May 1942, almost 9000 Jews were herded out of the city of Pabianice in Poland; those who were 'healthy' were sent to the Lodz ghetto, those who were frail or young were sent directly to the Gas Vans at Chelmno.

The 180 patients in the Pabianice hospital were murdered in their beds.

On Sunday, June 3, 2007, a plaque was erected in the Jewish cemetery in Springvale to remember the Jews murdered from this town as well as to remember the 650 Jews buried in the fast-deteriorating Jewish cemetery in Pabianice.

Holocaust survivors from the town of Pabianice gathered with their children and with their grandchildren for the plaque's unveiling.

Mr Shmuel Rosenkranz, co-director of the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Center addressed the crowd and told of the town's strong religious heritage and Rabbi Y. Garfunkel, spiritual leader of Blake Street Hebrew Congregation, recited psalms.

Much thanks goes to Jack Ekstein, Max Lasky and Harry Ciechanowski, and to all the people who generously donated to make this memorial everlasting.

Sunday 28th May 2006
Pabianice Landsmanshaft of Melbourne who are survivors, together with second and third generation Pabianicier and their families and friends held their revived annual yizkor service.
It was at the Jewish Holocaust Centre, 13-15 Selwyn Street, Elsternwick, 3185, Sunday 28th May 2006 at 3pm.

The Yizkor Memorial Service was followed by a DVD about Pabianice and Jack Ekstein gave a brief talk about his recent trip to the town. Whilst there, he visited the Jewish cemetery and found it to be in a very bad condition.

He has also managed to find out the names of 604 people buried in the cemetery and a copy of this was available on the afternoon for perusal.
