What are some modern-day examples of continued European influence in Africa?
Language. French is the working language in a number of African nations, as is English. Neither is native to Africa.
Administration. Many African nations use the British form of justice courts and police ranks and military establishments and structures. Many African national leaders are styled " Prime Minister ".
Education. Many well to do African families send their young people to University in Great Britain if they speak English, or France if they speak French. This usually gurantees that they will get a good position at home, in either the Government, or private business. This helps to maintain the status of the ex-colonial nation as a place of higher education.
Social life. The ex-pat social circle in Africa is a powerfull force that can make it's self known to the government, if things are allowed to go to far, as in Zimbabwe. The government there was warned by Great Britain that it would use military force to protect those UK citizens who were being threatened by un-ruly mobs in the interior of the country. The Zimbabwean P.M. took this news very seriously and immediately took measures to solve the problem.
Economics. In many African countries, the real day to day running of the country is done by European people who work either for non-government agencies, or for the government of the country. Highly technical work is rarely done by Africans, who tend to be no more than middle level managers or Government appointees, who owe their jobs to a family or tribal connection.
Infrastructure. Many roads, railways, dams, airports, electricity supply grids and much more, are from before self rule.
Developing countries in Africa become more westernize by the day.This is simply an continuation of western influence witch started during the colonial period.It touches every aspect of live in Africa,there is a shift away from traditional values,the African culture is slowly but surely replaced with American hip hop and bling.Role models like Mandela made way for Obama,I can go on for ever but it would hardly change anything.

What were the ghettos into which the Jews of Sighet were placed?
In April 1944, Hungarian authorities ordered Hungarian Jews living outside Budapest (roughly 500,000) to concentrate in certain cities, usually regional government seats. Hungarian gendarmes were sent into the rural regions to round up the Jews and dispatch them to the cities. The urban areas in which the Jews were forced to concentrate were enclosed and referred to as ghettos. Sometimes the ghettos encompassed the area of a former Jewish neighborhood. In other cases the ghetto was merely a single building, such as a factory.
