Ghetto is a word & a concept which NEVER should be forgotten by Jews

From the birth of culture, to the end of humanity, no Jew should ever forget the History of Ghettos, especially the Warsaw Ghetto.
Because of all the numerous Jewish ethnic cleansing episodes throughout history, the concept of ghettos is deeply imbedded in Jewish culture. When a Jew uses that word, like Bernie used it, it is done with the full and complete understanding of the reasons why cultural and ethnic Ghettos exist. Any new age, trendy, politically correct, fashionable term more acceptable does not mean what the term Ghetto means to Jews. Bernie's use of the term was a sign of respect and understanding, not a sign of lameness and being dated.
