13. I mean all the millions? of homes across many countries where the original homeowners went 'missing

Nov 2015

All those homes, farms and apartments are now occupied by other people and the attics/walls and earth is probably filled with possessions of those killed.

When people were forced out many just took what they could carry, the rest was hidden in and around their homes. Or outright looted by the towns people.

In many of those hundreds/thousands of small towns, nazis/local police/ local 'authorities' came in rounded up the towns Jewish and killed them. The towns general public stood there and watched many of the killings. After that those farms and homes didn't remain vacant.
