January 23, 1943:

• "Italian authorities refuse to cooperate with Germans in deportations of French Jews living in zones of France under Italian control.

• "British forces liberate Tripoli, Libya."

"The German occupiers took advantage of French antisemitism to recruit Frenchmen to fight for the Nazi cause.
While the Germans never got all of the aid they desired, the Vichy government was officially their ally and did supply a number of soldiers to the Nazis.
These French legionnaires left to fight on the Russian front. One of them scratched the words 'Death to the Jews.' "

"Following their defeat at Stalingrad, Russia, German and Romanian soldiers wait to be sent to prisoner-of-war camps.
Against the fierce cold, the soldiers huddle together for warmth and comfort as they march into what would be a cruel captivity.
Few of those who entered the camps returned to their homelands; most died of disease and starvation."
