    Very interesting Justin. Thank you. I’ll visit one day. Did you also know, that there was a ghetto in Riga, in almost where you went to a flea market and where you were buying some old riga balsam. There is a museum. Would be nice to see video from there. There are also couple of memorials in Riga, where Jewish people where killed. One of them in Rumbula. Nazis were bringing people by trains from Europe to Riga ghetto and then killing them, then bringing more and so on. There is also one distroyed sinagog, which was burned I think with people inside. Horrible, but it might be interesting for you to visit.

      Jew group tours, especially the schul ones from Zydrael, are prepared with anti Polish propaganda and are supervised by Sayanim who are trained in Hasbarah trolling. They are told to be on the look out for razizt Poles and to watch out for antisemitism. This is a big shekel spinner for the Jew tour guides and they hold on tight.

    And I will tell you why there were Jewish ghettos in such big cities as Warsaw, Kraków or Łódź. On the example of the Warsaw Jewish ghetto. At the beginning of the war, when the Germans entered Poland, the situation of Polish Jews was better than that of Poles. The Germans did roundups for Poles, not Jews, they had armbands on their sleeves and when there was a roundup, Jews were released and Poles were shot or sent to Auschwitz Birkenau because not Auschwitz, but Birkenau was made for Jews. The attitude of Poles towards Jews during the war was neutral, although after the Soviets entered Polish territory, Jews welcomed the Soviets as liberators and called them Polish officials, Polish activists, which usually ended in death or being sent to Russian gulags. When the Germans entered Poland, the Jews turned to to the Germans for the establishment of Jewish autonomy in Poland, which the Germans agreed to, but they had to concentrate more in one place, everyone knows how it ended. There are diaries of a Jew who had conversations with the Germans and wrote a diary every day saying that the Germans agreed. In Warsaw, the Jewish ghetto hardly had its own Jewish authorities, its own police, and they handed over their compatriots to the Germans. 250 thousand 800 survived, and they were mainly Jewish police and officials, when they returned to Israel, then President Begin said that only the thugs survived the Warsaw Ghetto because he knew what they were doing to their compatriots. The Germans did the same thing with the Ukrainians who wanted to form Ukraine, formed a government and the Germans arrested and killed them. History is not what they tell you or what you see. In the USA, they once made a feature film with well-known actors about the struggle of Jewish partisans how they heroically fought against the Germans, only Poles saw it a little differently. They were bandits for Poles who robbed Poles of everything they had, leaving Poles with nothing, and if someone refused to rob, they killed him. Well, Jews present themselves as the only victims of the war because 4 million of them died. but 6 million Poles died, which puts Poles in 1st place as to war victims as to the pre-war population. I don't know if you know about it in Western Europe. The propadanda operated for 70 years and Poland could do nothing about it from the Iron Curtain. Let me mention that only in Poland there was a death penalty for helping Jews and not infrequently when a Jew was found in a block of flats, the inhabitants of the entire staircase went to the death camps because the neighbors must have known about it, but in Israeli schools they teach about you and students ask stupid questions why Polish society, however, agreed. Poles are among those honored with the Israeli decoration for saving Jews. Did anyone wonder who saved so many Jews during the war and now there is only a campaign against Poles because it's about money.
