January 6, 1943:

• "The Jews of Lubaczow, Poland, are killed at the Belzec death camp.

• "Five hundred Jews hiding in Opoczno, Poland, are murdered by Germans after being coaxed out of hiding with a promise of rail transport to a neutral country."

"Auschwitz was divided into three camps. Auschwitz I was primarily a concentration camp.
At Auschwitz II (Birkenau), more than one million Jews fell dead in its five gas chambers.
Auschwitz III (Monowitz) was an enormous industrial area, with chemical giant I.G. Farben relying on thousands of slave laborers."
