Somewhere near the middle of Poland yesterday, the Polish army was told that it was breaking apart into pieces because the soviets and germans had already taken over the entire country and split it up between each other. This was heartbreaking news to the entire polish army, which was then given the option to raid the local supply warehouse for food, guns and other army equipment. Rumors say that the majority of the army had gone into Russia for an unknown reason. The Russians have been notified of this and are searching for the remains of the army so they don't cause too much trouble among the citizens of Russia.

The news of Poland dissipating has also hit the country itself, and people have begun to frantically gather their belongings and flee to many different places. Some have gone tracking their family trees to anyone in a nearby country that would perhaps take them in while they recover. Some are moving to other countries in the hopes that they will start anew and hope it will work out eventually. But most people don't know what to do as they have nowhere to go. These people must pick between the soviet union and germany, otherwise they will be on the border of two very aggressive countries, whom are rivals with one another.

Through the hall, down the stairs around the corner and out the dining room, nazis murdered jews yesterday outside the Radom Hotel, in the Glinice Ghetto. The nazis used guns and attack dogs to slaughter the unarmed jews while nearby residents stare in shock at the brutality of the nazi march. This was a truly life-changing experience for those who witnessed the event.

There haven't been any reports on exactly how many were killed as the nazis refuse access to the ghetto so we have estimated at several hundred dead. The nazis were brutal against those in the ghetto, so brutal that there have been reports of nazis shooting at someone outside of the ghetto. When asked about the situation they say that they saw this mysterious person throw food over the fence to feed those trapped inside the ghetto. It appears that the nazi brutality has driven some to ignore the nazi death threats and help jews.

The nazis are killing the local businesses along with the jews as they scare customers away with their mass murders and their propaganda. For example, the Radom Hotel was right next to the mass murdering and the killing is no doubt ruining the business. Just the ghetto being there is bad,and the smell of the dead only further ruins the already damaged business. While the nazis blame their economic depression on the jews, its safe to say that the nazis are to blame as well.
