No.

Very sad for Lodz Jewry.
Let's hope that Israel Kristal still survives in this scenario, though:
Yisrael Kristal - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
He was a survivor of both the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz and eventually became the world's oldest living man, dying just a month short of his 114th birthday.
@raharris1973 This is an interesting tidbit of information: It's worth noting that, if the Cold War still ends on schedule in this scenario, you could see a contiguous neutralist bloc in the middle of NATO consisting of Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Serbia/Yugoslavia, and possibly Ukraine as well. (Unless of course Austria will be a pro-Western republic.) This would serve to make NATO logistics in the post-Cold War era a bit more complex, no doubt, unless of course this neutralist bloc will actually allow NATO to use its airspace.
Interesting fact: It is speculated that the lack of a Westernized diet might have ironically helped Lodz Jewry's health during WWII before they were murdered en masse:
Since they were tragically murdered en masse, of course, no follow-up research on their state after the end of the war could be done. There were too few Holocaust survivors among them.
