[QUOTE="Leggett71, post: 3525071, member: 13456"] This reply probably does not belong here but since references to the Warsaw Ghetto were brought up I thought the facts on what happened there should be posted before individuals began using the reference lightly without knowing the mass murders that occurred in Warsaw The Warsaw Ghetto was one of the WWII nazi death camps, nothing today that is called a ghetto comes close to the atrocities that occurred there.
