June 15, 1942:

• "Authorities in Riga, Latvia, request a second gassing van."

"Hlinka guardsmen of the Slovakian nationalist party stand in front of a truck loaded with Jewish deportees at an assembly point in Kralovsky-Chlumec.
Local police and guard units helped round up and deport the Jews to one of the six death facilities located in German-occupied Poland."

"The Nazis often insisted upon adding insult to injury by tormenting Jews who were about to be deported to their deaths.
Here, Nazi thugs humiliate an Orthodox Jew from the Czechoslovakian town of Stropkov by trimming his beard--an all too common occurrence.
Such actions not only pained the victims, but also allowed the perpetrators to unleash their contempt for the centuries-old culture of European Jewry."
