• "Nine thousand Jewish males from Salonika, Greece, are assigned to the Organisation Todt labor battalions."

"Mordecai Gebirtig (second from left) sits with three of his colleagues from the Hebrew Gymnasium (secondary school) in Kraków, Poland.
Gebirtig was a Yiddish folk poet who reflected the sentiments of Jews in Eastern Europe.
During the Holocaust his poems expressed fear, hope, and anger, such as the poem "A Tog fun Nekome," ("A Day of Revenge").
He died on June 4, 1942."
