Poland will mark, for the first time in history, the deportation of 250,000 Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp. Events throughout the city will take place on Sunday to coincide with the date that, some seventy years ago, the Warsaw Ghetto was cleared out and gas chambers at Treblinka were activated.

You state that "the Warsaw Ghetto was cleared out in 1942". This is not correct - approximately 50,000 remained. The Ghetto was finally cleared out and destroyed in April 1943, after the Ghetto Uprising was crushed. I'm rather surprised to find such an error in "Tablet"!
thank you
