I’m getting a sense that Stalingrad is turning into a meat grinder.

September 7, 1942:

• "At least 5,000 Jews from Kolomyia, Ukraine, are deported to Belzec; 1,000 are killed in the Kolomyia Ghetto itself."

"Most children had been deported from the Lódz (Poland) Ghetto by the end of September 1942.
The ghetto struggled to find employment for those remaining and to find homes for the orphaned.
The Chronicle of the Lódz Ghetto proudly reported that some 720 children had been placed with families by early December.
In the latter part of 1942, a juvenile concentration camp was established for Polish (not Jewish) children, with Karl Ehrlich as commandant.
Here he inspects his youthful prisoners."
