Time for me to spark up I think, I lived in Poland for 7 months, I
visited the international Jewish memorial for the Holocaust, the
number that they quote is about 2.5 million (which isn't exactly small
now is it?). I saw thousands of Jewish people while in Krakow and I
don't think that anyone can argue that there aren't millions of Jews
in any country let alone in the world. For me though the worst thing I
saw was the way that the Jewish community seemed to completely
disregard the feelings of those others killed in the Holocaust, about
1 million Polish people (most Catholic) were also murdered and the
Jewish community would not ALLOW a single memorial to those people to
stand in the same grounds as their own. The exact same area as those
people were equally persecuted.

It annoyed me deeply.
