May 23, 1943:

• May 21: "Three thousand Jews driven from Brody, Ukraine, to a waiting transport train revolt, killing four Ukrainians and a few Germans.
  Many of the Jews break free after being put on the train, only to be machine-gunned.
  The remainder are killed upon arrival at the Majdanek death camp.

• "Members of the Jewish community at Drogobych, Ukraine, are exterminated in the Bronica Forest.

• May 23: "Nazi Aktionen kill thousands of Ukrainian Jews at Przemyslany and Lvov."

"The teacher of a heder (Jewish religious school) interacts with students in the Jewish Quarter of Casablanca, Morocco.
Most of Morocco's 200,000 Jews lived in the French-controlled part of the country.
Early in the war, Moroccan Jews were the victims of violence perpetrated by French nationalists.
Jews were attacked and many were deported to labor camps."

National Loyalties Affirmed
The Comintern decision, it is commented here, also will provide the national Communist parties with an answer to those opponents who question their complete loyalty to their own countries. Communist parties all over the free world should find their positions strengthened by the Comintern decision, it is held. Finally, it is added, the decision should remove any suspicion that Russia is interested in interfering with other lands' ways of life.

Quite a statement when compared with the "Blueprint for a World Government" by Gov Stassen on pg 21.

Interesting in the article about objections out West to how cushy the Japanese-American internees have it that a whites-only sign is referred to by the author as a “trade barrier.”
