July 6, 1943:

• July 5: "The Germans launch a major armored offensive at Kursk, Russia, initiating the largest tank battle in history; See July 23, 1943.

• "Heinrich Himmler orders that Sobibór, a death camp, be made a concentration camp.

• July 6: "More than 2,400 Jews are deported from Holland to Sobibór."

"Warily gazing out at the photographer, Dutch children in the Kallenburg district of Amsterdam huddle together for warmth and comfort.
As the years of Nazi occupation wore on, conditions worsened for all civilians, and especially for the most vulnerable, children and the elderly. Photographer Emmy Andreisse, a member of the Dutch Resistance, recorded conditions in the Netherlands under the occupation."
