August 25, 1943:

• August 23: "The Red Army captures Kharkov, Ukraine.

• August 24: "Five thousand Jews from Bialystok, Poland, are killed at Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Majdanek.

• August 25: "SS troops at the Janówska, Ukraine, labor camp select 24 attractive Jewish women aged 17 to 20 and take them to a night-long SS bacchanalia; See August 26, 1943."

"Originally established by the Dutch in 1939 as a detention center for illegal Jewish immigrants, Westerbork under the Nazis became the transit hub in the deportation of Dutch Jews.
While the majority spent only a few days at the camp, a minority became permanent residents, receiving work cards like the one pictured here.
Most of the employed prisoners worked in the camp hospital and dispensary."
