"German military and civilian authorities meet at Vinnitsa, Ukraine, to discuss the fate of about 20,000 Hungarian Jews impressed into forced labor and interned at Kamenets-Podolski, Ukraine.
Lt. General Friedrich Jeckeln announces that all 20,000 will be liquidated by September 1.
"Fifteen hundred Jews are murdered at Tykocin, Poland.
"In Yugoslavia, 8,000 Jewish residents of Belgrade are transported to Topovske Supe, where they are murdered."
"Rallying the German nation to war against the Soviet Union, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels could reach most of the populace through his radio broadcasts by the end of 1941.
War on two fronts did not deter Goebbels from pressing for the removal of Jews from German society.
The first deportation of Jews from Berlin occurred in October."
Killing Accomplices
"During their tireless campaign to annihilate Europe's Jews, the Nazis found thousands of willing accomplices among the populations of Eastern and Western Europe.
"Indigenous police forces in France and the Netherlands took part in roundups.
Hungarian troops and Fascist extremists joined the hunt and helped slaughter thousands.
Slovakia's Hlinka Guard, modeled on Nazi Storm Troopers, attacked Jews while local police organized deportations.
The Ustasa --a Croatian nationalist, separatist, terrorist organization--tortured and barbarously murdered Jews with axes and hammers.
In Romania and the Crimea, the bloodthirsty enthusiasm of volunteer ethnic Germans and Romanian army units who engaged in mass shootings shocked even the SS.
"When the mobile killing squads of the Einsatzgruppen swept into the Soviet Union, their comparatively thin ranks were augmented by auxiliary troops of native Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians.
The Omakaitse, Estonian police collaborators, rounded up the Jews of Tallinn and helped the Nazis shoot hundreds.
Selbstschutz, Latvian police, assisted in the killing of thousands in Riga.
Lithuanian police seized and executed Jews, while Lithuanian nationalists killed thousands in pogroms.
The particularly brutal Hilfspolizei (Ukrainian Auxiliary Police) hunted down Jews escaping from ghettos and killed thousands.
Without the work of these sympathizers, the Nazi campaign of genocide would have been noticeably less effective."
