Hello friend!
Some years ago I saw that the Stamps were printed, but finally they not were authorized for the use. The "Kommandatur-Waffen-SS" cancelllated all. I will search into my notes; now with internet and New information maybe I am wrong. I saw material in eBay in MNH as original and the used Stamps are faked.

Litzmannstadt Ghetto stamps 5 10 20 marks
5 marks,10 marks and 20 marks, "Judenpost" ("Jewish postage") and the image of Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski,"Alteste der Juden, Elder of the Jews in the Ghetto.
Thanks for the info. So the Litzmannstadt Ghetto were obviously for the Lodz Ghetto. I know there were parcel post stamps issued - does anyone know if that was only Lodz? I remember my aunt saying something about special stamps when she was in the Warsaw Ghetto - but I don't remember the details or what they were for (could have been anything such as "food stamps").
Just curious anyway and any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Some years ago I came across Nazi issued stamps that could be used for "postage" within Ghettos. I know there are some documented on Warsaw Ghetto covers. What other Ghettos used these or their own stamps for inside-ghetto post. I've heard of a cover that was somehow sent to the "outside world", I think from Lodz that had both genuine Reich stamps as well as the Ghetto cinderella.
Can anyone share more info on this topic?
