September 26, 1942:
- "SS Lieutenant General August Frank advises camp administrators that jewelry and other valuables seized from Jews should be sent to the German Reichsbank, and that razors and other practical items should be cleaned and delivered to front-line troops for sale to them.
Proceeds will go to the Reich.
Further, confiscated household items are to be distributed to ethnic Germans. - "Brussels Jewish leader Edward Rotbel is deported to Auschwitz.
Several hundred Dutch Jews are gassed there; See October 9, 1942." - "German railway officials meet in Berlin to plan track upgrades and additional trains in order to hasten deportations of Jews.
- September 26-29: "Search parties of German and Ukrainian police capture 1,000 of 2,000 Jews who escaped from the Tuchin (Ukraine) Ghetto on September 24.
Some Jews are taken to Tuchin's Jewish cemetery and shot, while most are killed where they are found in the forest; See September 27, 1942."
"About 75,000 Jews in France (mostly foreign) were deported; others were confined to concentration camps.
About 25,000 Belgian and 100,000 Dutch Jews were also deported, most to their deaths."
"An antisemitic and anti-Gaullist propaganda poster depicts French General Charles de Gaulle as the puppet of the Jews.
The poster's headline reads, "The True Face of Free France."
When combined with the portrait of the general standing in front of stereotypically portrayed Jews, these words clearly communicated the desired message.
As leader of the Free French government-in-exile in London, de Gaulle's opposition to the Nazis was well established.
The Nazi propaganda machine sought to discredit its opponents by linking them with 'international Jewry.' "
"Shmuel Kaplinski was a member of Vilna, Lithuania's United Partisan Organization, a wide-ranging alliance comprised of members from numerous youth groups.
On September 23, 1942, Kaplinski helped 80 to 100 FPO members escape from the ghetto via the Vilna sewer system.
Once outside of the ghetto, the group rendezvoused with the Kailis partisans, who operated in the nearby Rudninkai Forest."
September 27, 1942:
- "Three hundred cold and hungry women and children, part of the 1000 Jews still at large following a September 24 escape from the ghetto at Tuchin, Ukraine, return to the city under German promises of safe repatriation.
All 300 are shot.
Of the 700 Tuchin Jews who remain at large, only about 20 will survive the war. "
"This false identity card was issued to David Donoff in September 1942.
The Donoff family engaged in forgery operations for the Jewish Resistance in France.
All seven siblings of the Donoff family were members of a Resistance organization known as Éclaireurs israélites de France.
Of the seven siblings, the two brothers were killed for participating in Resistance operations; the five sisters survived the war."
"Hampered by the British White Paper of 1939, which severely restricted Jewish immigration to Palestine, members of the Yishuv, the organized Jewish community in Palestine, agonized as they learned of the deportations and deaths.
Here, Yishuv members gather before the tomb of the prophet Zechariah on the Mount of Olives to mourn those who had died at the hands of the Nazis.
The group recalled the prophet's words spoken in earlier times of persecution: 'Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country; and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people and I will be their God.' (Zec 8:7-8, RSV)."
"This obviously staged photograph shows Jews beating Jews in the Kolbuszowa (Poland) Ghetto.
The Nazis used such propaganda photos to establish that Jews were animals who often turned on each other, just like the rats to which the Nazis often compared them.
The implication was clear: If the Jews did not care about themselves, why should the German people care about them?"
