This day in history:
German troops enter Warsaw, Poland and start their occupation of the city.
A year later the Warsaw Ghetto would be established, confining 400,000 Jews to an area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2). Many of them would either die in the Ghetto or eventually be sent away to various concentration or death camps.
The German occupation finally ended in January of 1945, when Soviet troops entered the city. They found a city of which nearly 85% of the buildings were destroyed.
October 1, 1939 - 72 years ago today.
