October 21, 1942:

• "Twelve thousand Jews are murdered at Bar in the Transnistria region of the Ukraine."

"German Order Police humiliate Jews during an Aktion in Lukow, Poland, in 1942.
Almost 4,000 Jews were murdered during the liquidation of the ghetto on May 2, 1943.
Obvious Jewish symbols--such as prayer shawls, yarmulkes, and beards--made Jews seem 'more Jewish' and left them especially vulnerable to German assault."
