July 29, 1942:

• "The Nazis post notices in the Warsaw Ghetto offering extra food (mainly bread and jam) to Jews who go voluntarily to 'resettlement.'"

"Though not as strong as in other countries, antisemitism did occur in Italy.
Here, an Italian soldier whips a Greek Jew in the city of Salonika.
The Jews were assembled in Liberty Square.
Forced to do calisthenics in the hot sun, the Jews were beaten if they slowed down."

"The federal government spent more in the first 25 days of the current fiscal year than it did in all of 1930."
