December 20, 1940. The world recoils.

 

"Behind this eight-foot concrete wall some 500,000 Jews will begin a new life in Warsaw's ghetto. By German decree, all Warsaw Jews are required to reside in the district, located in the central part of the conquered city. It surrounds more than 100 city blocks and closes off 200 streets and even street car lines."  New York World Telegram, December 20, 1940.

With the Christmas Season approaching, it was a grim day in many places where there were those who weren't acknowledging the message of the Price of Peace.  You can read more about that here.

Day 477 December 20, 1940

On this site we recall that already the Germans were butchering the Poles, and as can be seen from above, they were beginning a more systematic butchering of European's Jewish population.

The Germans also commenced the Liverpool Bitz, three days of horrific bombing of the city.

Even the Earth seemed to recoil against the violence. The first of two earthquakes occurred in New Hampshire.
