this is what's left of the warsaw ghetto. some condemned buildings, now being converted into luxury condominiums. (dog barking) under cover of night, i enter this ghost town hesitantly. in 1940, our family was forced by the germans to move inside the ghetto walls. two years later, my grandmother was taken from here by the germans to the train station. in a state of shock, her mother, my great-grandmother, followed her daughter to the death camp. i remember my older cousin and me playing a strange wartime hide-and-seek. on her signal, "germans!", we both jump into a big wicker laundry basket, pull the cover over us and keep silent. when i say, "they're gone," we get out. i was three. i remember the security of holding my mother's cold ear, the touch of my father's unshaved cheek. there were 12 of us squeezed into three rooms.

paris, 1940, when germans destroyed the french the republic. warsaw, 1939. manila, 1941. saigon, 1975. the best analogy i can give you for what is happening, what's going to happen in richmond, is a shipwreck. the city, its population, and its garrison will go through every single human emotion possible in the next 36 hours. april 3, 1865. it is the end of an era. these cities are all symbols. cities change hands all throughout warfare. what makes these different? it's the symbolism. it is also the fact that they are watersheds. the fall of singapore ended the british empire in the far east. manila has never been the same since the second world war when the japanese took her in 1941 and the destruction of 1945. for the impact on paris, just watch casablanca for the impact on paris. the global reverberations of that offense, the helicopters going off the embassy roof, that puts a very sharp point. richmond, for the confederates, and for the union, is the same thing. let's talk about what happens to the city of richmond when jeff davis is pulled out of church and told you ha
