May 20, 1943:

• May 19: "In the House of Commons, the courageous Eleanor Rathbone attacks the British government for the defeatist attitudes expressed at the Bermuda Conference and notes that the Allies are responsible for the deaths of any Jews if they refuse to help.

• "SS chief Heinrich Himmler sends Reich Security Main Office chief Ernst Kaltenbrunner copies of The Jewish Ritual Murder, a book describing apocryphal Jewish religious rituals.
  Himmler plans to distribute copies throughout Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, and broadcast excerpts to England and the United States."

"Bernard Geron (far right) was a Jewish boy hidden with a Dutch family, the Dufours.
The woman in the picture, the family's governess, knew that he was Jewish but kept his secret.
Geron survived the war and was reunited with his father and brother; his mother had perished."

"May 1943 marked a renewed effort on the part of the Nazis to deport Dutch Jews.
Neither age nor disability provided a reprieve.
Here, members of the Ordedienst (Jewish police), composed at its height of some 200 young Dutch and German men, carry an elderly woman to the train.
Approximately 100,000 Jews passed through Westerbork, Netherlands, to the camps of the East, mostly Auschwitz and Sobibór."
