February 11, 1943:
- "Of 998 Jews deported from France on this date, only ten will be alive at war's end two years later.
Included among the 998 are 123 children under the age of 12, sent away without their parents.
802 are gassed immediately upon arrival at Auschwitz."
MAJOR DEPORTATIONS OF JEWS TO TREBLINKA, 1942-1943
"More than 700,000 Jews perished at the Treblinka death camp.
Most came from such major ghettos as Warsaw (250,000 in the summer of 1942) and Bialystok, while others endured (or died during) long train rides from Czechoslovakia, Greece, and other countries.
Deportations to Treblinka ended in May 1943."

My guess is that the story of the oil being used too fast in city buildings (Page 9) is just a cover, and that a large portion of that oil is being stolen and re-sold.
