July 19, 1942:

• "Deportations to the Auschwitz death camp begin for Parisian Jews who have been held at Drancy, France, since July 16.

• SS chief Heinrich Himmler orders that all Polish Jews in the Generalgouvernement be deported eastward by December 31, 1942.

• The Family Hostage Law is announced in Occupied France.
  Under its provisions, fugitive "terrorists" who do not surrender to German authorities can expect their male relatives to be killed, female relatives sent to work camps, and children sent to special schools for political reeducation."

"These seven Poles were hanged by the German military in Plaszów for the crime of railway sabotage.
The Germans liked to hang those who defied them, as a deterrent to the local population."
