July 9, 1942:

• "Jewish partisan Vitka Kempner returns to the Vilna Ghetto, having successfully planted a land mine and blown up the engine and ammunition cars of a German military train; See September 1943."

"Children sometimes proved immune to the prejudices so prevalent among their parents.
On June 7, 1942, at Ecole rue Michel Bizot, non-Jewish boys showed their solidarity with their Jewish classmates by wearing the yellow Star of David that was mandatory for Jews.
This action, of course, made it impossible to tell the Jews from the non-Jews, making it more difficult for authorities to persecute the Jewish boys.
Here, the courageous boys are pictured at a later date."
