March 31, 1943:

• "Spring 1943: "Nazi kill squads have so far murdered almost two million Jews in Eastern Europe.

• "The Germans force Jewish prisoners to burn the bodies of 600,000 Jews exterminated at Belzec."

"Over 75 percent of Dutch Jews were deported to Auschwitz, Sobibór, and other death camps.
Few survived.
Some Dutch citizens struggled to thwart the massive Nazi effort to exterminate the country's Jews. Several conspirators, including C. Hartogh, plotted the destruction to impede the Nazis' deportation plans.
Hartogh was executed a few months later."

"Acts of Dutch resistance included the bombing of the Amsterdam population registry on March 27, 1943."
