February 4, 1943:

• "In Lvov, Ukraine, German authorities assemble 12 surviving members of the ghetto's Jewish Council.
  When two do not appear and the others refuse to comply with German orders, four of the members are murdered.
  Six are sent to the labor camp at Janówska, Ukraine, and the two who had refused to appear are later discovered in the non-Jewish section of Lvov and shot."

"The Nazis' genocidal policies in Eastern Europe involved more than just killing the people occupying Germany's "living space."
In addition, tens of thousands of Germans emigrated to the newly conquered territories in order to make the lands the province of the German Volk (people).
This illustration refers to the forced emigration of Poles who had to leave to make room for the Germans.
The text reads: "Step by step the arrival [of German immigrants] follows the migration [of the Poles].
The Resettlement division of the Security Police prohibits any cessation of work within one's area of activity.""

"Anna Wachalska, a gentile, lived in Warsaw at the time of the German invasion.
She aided the Jewish Resistance throughout the Nazi occupation, even going so far as to give the identity of her deceased daughter, Stanislawa, to a young Jewish woman.
Wachalska also worked closely with the Polish Socialist resistance, providing a link between it and the Jews of Warsaw.
After the war she was named "Righteous Among the Nations" by the Yad Vashem."
