Ok I am totally freaked out right now... If you didn't know this, I am part Jewish. I was reading about some of my family history during World War 2, and got to the part where Jewish people in Hungary started being rounded up and taken to concentration camps. And guess what date that was on? My Birthday!!!! Yes, October 15th!!! Yeah well I am totally freaked now... I'll never think about my birthday the same way again...
