November 7, 1942:

• November 7-November 30: "More than 50,000 Jews in Poland and the Ukraine are deported to death camps at Belzec, Treblinka, and Majdanek."

"This 1942 poster advertising a lecture series in New York City by Varian Fry calls attention to France under the Nazis.
An emissary of the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee, Fry had been sent to France to arrange for the escape of some 200 prominent anti-Nazi artists and authors, many of them Jews.
By the time he was expelled from France in September 1941, over a year after he entered, he had secured the release of more than 1,000 people.
At the bottom of this flyer on Fry are the words 'WANTED BY THE GESTAPO.' "
