Today is a sad day in history. Very graphic from the movie ," Schindlers list".
On 13–14 March 1943, the final 'liquidation' of the ghetto was carried out under the command of SS-Untersturmführer Amon Göth (his SS rank being the equivalent to a 2nd Lieutenant). Eight thousand Jews deemed able to work were transported to the Płaszów labor camp. Those deemed unfit for work – some 2,000 Jews – were killed in the streets of the ghetto on those days with the use of "Trawniki men" police auxiliaries. Any remaining were sent to Auschwitz.

And some of those survivors went to British Palestine to be in Israel. That is why Israelis are not afraid to die and won't quit fighting when fighting Arab armies.

But in the end there is hope and there were people who stood for righteousness. The women who smuggled children out of the ghetto, Roul Wallenberg who saved thousands, Count Bernadotte. Corrie Ten Boom who hide Jews. There is a long list of noble people to try to emulate.
