She’s very pretty, but calling her a goddess is a bit of a stretch. She was great in The Professional, an awesome movie. Gary Oldman’s best performance as an actor.

Number 27: she "bravely" wore a "stunning" dress to the oscars written with the names of all the female directors who had been "snubbed" that year by the acadamy, proving yet again the hypocrisy of Hollywood and it's limo liberals because her own film company employs only one female director. Her. But wait, she's still a victim, what with all that attention, natural beauty, privilege and fame and fortune. *sniff* So brave.

#7 a mistake.
The Auschwitz concentration camp was established by the Germans who occupied Poland during World War II.
There was no Poland then.
Initially, only Poles were imprisoned in the camp, and later were other nationalities imprisoned there.

Valerie,

There was no Polish state because it was occupied by Germans and Russians.
The Germans set up a concentration camp in this area
This is how Auschwitz was established on lands that were administratively part of Germany
