July 30, 1942:

• "German industrialist Eduard Schulte, whose company has mines near Auschwitz, reveals to a Swiss colleague that Hitler and the German Reich have decided to round up the millions of Jews of Occupied Europe, concentrate them in the East, and murder them using prussic acid starting in the fall of 1942.
  The information is soon communicated to Swiss World Jewish Congress representative Gerhart Riegner. "

"Complex challenges faced the Judenrat (Jewish Council) of a huge ghetto like Lódz.
To support the needs of the ghetto, the Judenrat set up hospitals, schools, and soup kitchens.
All required funding, which the council raised by taxing everything they could, beginning with wages. Here, Nazi Walter Genewein, financial director of the Lódz Ghetto administration, counts money into piles delegated to the ghetto's various needs and to special German demands."
