Nazis segregate Jews in Warsaw

Tuesday, November 26, 1940 www.onwar.com

In Occupied Poland... Work begins on the creation of a Jewish ghetto in Warsaw in which the Germans intend to herd the local Jewish population under dreadful living conditions. The Germans describe the move as a “health measure.”

In the Mediterranean... Aircraft from the British carrier Eagle raid Tripoli. In another operation the carrier Illustrious attacks targets on Rhodes.

Thank you for all your work, even on this holiday.

So interesting!

Hope you and your family have a terrific time.

I’ll be driving around Santa Cruz tomorrow with my Mom.
