September 9, 1942:

• "Two thousand Jews are deported from the camp in Lublin, Poland, to Majdanek.

• "The Times of London reports on the Vichy (Occupied France) government's dismissal of General Robert de Saint-Vincent, military governor of Lyons, for his refusal to initiate mass arrests of Jews in his region of responsibility.
  The same edition of the Times reports on a German order for the arrest of Catholic priests who shelter Jews in the unoccupied zone of France."

"William Joyce, a.k.a. "Lord Haw-Haw," was a British Fascist renowned for his Nazi propaganda broadcasts.
A member of the British Union of Fascists since 1932, Joyce became disenchanted with the Union's "soft" anti-Jewish policies.
In 1937 he co-founded the National Socialist League, an organization that wanted England to emulate the policies of Nazi Germany.
Joyce moved to Germany in August 1939; from there he broadcast his radio program, "Germany Calling."
Considered a traitor in Britain, Joyce was granted German citizenship.
He was arrested by British authorities in May 1945 and put on trial for treason.
He was convicted and executed in January 1946."
