"Soviet authorities declare a state of siege in Moscow."

"Romania was among Germany's Eastern European allies.
On October 16, 1941, the city of Odessa, Ukraine, was overrun by the German and Romanian armies and occupied by the Romanians.
Although Jews had been a presence in Romania since the second century, the way for them had been thorny.
Romanian governments of the early 20th century prevented Jews from assimilating, and anti-Jewish violence was not uncommon.
By 1941 Romania, like other collaborationist states, practiced the same occupation policies as the Germans.
This photograph shows Jews waiting to register with the new authorities in the Romanian-controlled city."

"Jewish women and children were usually forced to surrender their belongings and strip off their clothes shortly before their executions.
These items usually were stolen by the killers.
At Lubny, Sonderkommandos murdered 1,363 Jews, Communists, and partisans."

• "Residents of the Jewish community at Koidanov, Belorussia, are murdered.
• "Thousands of Jews are murdered at Kraljevo, Yugoslavia."

"Lebensborn:

"Nazi racial policy in the conquered Eastern Territories centered on the extermination of undesirables.
Yet, Heinrich Himmler, the erstwhile selective breeder of chickens, initiated a further goal: the identification and preservation of "racially valuable" Aryan elements among the region's population.

"To this end, the SS kidnapped blond, blue-eyed children from their parents in occupied areas and sent them to Germany for adoption.
Operating under the code name "Haymaking," this sinister campaign was carried out with particular viciousness in Poland and Russia.
Thousands of children were cruelly taken from their families.
Most of the children were placed in Lebensborn homes and later adopted by suitably Nordic couples, often by households in which the father was a member of the SS.
This unconscionable criminality was planned also for Latvia and other occupied nations.

"This was but one aspect of Himmler's Lebensborn (Fountain of life) program, designed to preserve, improve, and extend "pure" Aryan blood.
In order to encourage the propagation of "good blood," Himmler also issued procreation orders to the SS.
It mattered not if the children produced were illegitimate--only that the parents were of pure Aryan stock.
Thirteen special institutions throughout Germany served as both "stud farms" for SS men and maternity homes for unwed German mothers."
