USHMM lists 60,000 for August 1944:
https://www.ushmm.org/learn/timeline-of-events/1942-1945/liquidation-of-the-lodz-ghetto
65,000-67,000:

HEART has the same number:
http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/ghettos/Lodz/lodzghetto.html
60,000:
http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html#1944
In “Chelmno and the Holocaust” the number given is 54,500 and footnote is from “Chronicle.”
So, probably around 60,000. I don’t have “Chronicle” at home, it’s at work so I can’t confirm that number.
Don’t make me come down there!!!!

Oops, you edited while I hunted.

I saw the 70,067 but I think that’s total for the year, I focused on August of 1944 only. I think the 7,186 is a solid number for Chelmno.

Yeah, if I tried glogg it would plant me solidly on my ass and I would sleep for about two days. I have to go back to work tomorrow.
As for egg nog, I love the stuff but it doesn’t fit into my diet.....
