• "The situation of the encircled forces has worsened sharply. There are few shells, bullets are running out, and there is no food. They eat that which the population can provide and horseflesh. Medicines and dressing materials are used up. All tents and dwellings are overflowing with wounded." - Lieutenant-General Lukin

• "Field Marshal Walter von Reichenau, commander of the German Sixth Army, issues a directive emphasizing the need for harsh treatment of "Jewish subhumanity."
• "Thousands of Slovak Jews are sent to labor camps at Sered, Vyhne, and Nováky.
• "Slovak, Bohemian, and Moravian Jews are forced from their homes and into ghettos."

"The Germans established the Lódz (Poland) Ghetto in early 1940, entrapping 150,000 Jews.
In 1941 and '42, nearly 40,000 more Jews were deported to Lódz from Berlin, Vienna, Prague, and other areas."
