May 27, 1943:

• "The Jews of Sokal, Ukraine, are deported to the Belzec death camp.

• "Three thousand Jews are killed at Tolstoye, Ukraine. "

"Invaded and conquered in 1941, Salonika, home to most of Greece's Jews, became part of a new Greek state headed by a pro-Nazi governor.
The Germans harassed the Jewish community, demanding money and labor.
In late 1942 they threatened to destroy the ancient Jewish cemetery if a huge payment was not made.
Jews raised much of the required sum by the deadline, but the Nazis carried through on their threat anyway. "
