1/24/39 Update

SS leader Reinhard Heydrich is ordered by Göring to speed up emigration of Jews.

This tidbit comes from www.worldwar-2.net. It is a great site for WWII timelines. The war is broken down by region and year. I counted 90 timelines for the actual war period plus one called Prelude to War, where today's update came from. There is even a section on World War I. The site's developer is British, so it has a slight British emphasis.

I couldn't find anything about Goering's orders to Heydrich on this date in my vast library ("Rise and Fall of the Third Reich").

That's one of about 20 sites I have book-marked. It's rich on dates which makes it a great jumping off point for further research. I know that somewhere there is more data on this order but all I can find right now is an excerpt from a speech given by Hitler on the 30th that emphasizes this attitude.
