Lodz Jewish Ghetto commemorations 28.08.2005
Events commemorating the 61st anniversary of the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Lodz began in that central Polish city today. A mass in the intention of those who perished there was celebrated by French cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger and the Lodz metropolitan archbishop Wladyslaw Ziolek.
The Nazis created the Litzmannstadt Getto in February 1940 in the city’s most neglected district. It covered the area of 4 square kilometres. More than 160,000 Jews were closed there. Many Jewish intellectuals from Poland, Germany, Austria and Luxembourg were placed there. According to various sources only 5,000 to 12,000 people survived.

The reason is probably, that he's Jewish. But this is only my guess.

A French cardinal is Jewish? Or you mean that he was born Jewish?

I meant Jewish - as nationality, not religion.

Still trying to decipher why Lodz of Carnivale is named Lodz.

The french and the poles were not only tuning in Jews but assisting in the murderous ecterminations. Of corse the germans, liths, russians and ukranes were gleefully collecting and killing.

I've gone through discussions cosidering this issue several times here, and I'm not going to do it again, because I'm pretty sure, that I'm not going to convince you, that you're wrong about it (cause you are).
So it would be waste of time - mine and yours.

Jewish is not a nationality. It is a relgion by birth.

OK, I'm not an expert, but - you mean that there is no Jewish nation (including atheists who were born as Jewish)?

I heard about Polish antisemitism. Someone said that they suck it in with their mother's milk. Is that true ?
