July 14, 1943:
- July 11: "Martin Bormann, Hitler's secretary, issues a top-level directive on Hitler's behalf, instructing that public discussion of Jews must not mention 'a future overall solution,' but only that Jews are being assembled for labor.
- July 14-17: "The 'Krasnodar Trial' of 13 alleged Soviet collaborators opens in the Caucasus region of Russia.
Eight are sentenced to death; three are sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment; two are acquitted. - Mid-July: "Germans execute Professor Kurt Huber, an anti-Nazi activist and part of the Munich-based White Rose student resistance group."
"With gun held at the ready, Vitka Kempner (right) stands with fellow partisans Zelda Treger and Raizel Kartshak.
Even among the partisans, Kempner was regarded as exceptionally daring.
In early July 1943 she sneaked out of the Vilna (Lithuania) Ghetto with a homemade bomb, which she used to blow up a German munitions train.
Although wounded, she walked three days and nights to return to the ghetto.
She later carried on her heroic activities from the forests, helping Jewish slave laborers to escape from Keilis, near Vilna, and joining with other partisans to destroy a factory."
"The pro-Axis grand mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, inspects the rifle of a Bosnian-Moslem Waffen-SS volunteer.
As a leader of Arabs and Moslems, al-Husseini saw the Axis powers as the means to gain Arab independence and to destroy the Jews.
Although he failed to achieve his dream of an independent Arab legion, he was more successful in persuading some 20,000 Bosnian Moslems to join volunteer units called the Handjar (Sword).
Incorporated into the Waffen-SS, these troops proved effective in hunting Jews and partisans."
