September 6, 1943:

• September 5-6: "An old shoe warehouse in the Lódz (Poland) Ghetto takes delivery of 12 freight cars filled with shoes stolen from murdered Jews."

"Jewish intellectuals were particularly offensive in the eyes of the Nazis.
They not only played a vital role in preserving Jewish culture, but were also, from the point of view of Nazi ideology, responsible for the totally negative effects of Jewish influence upon German culture.
The Nazis believed that the Jews were responsible for every intellectual movement of which they disapproved.
This included, most importantly, all forms of cultural modernism.
These Viennese-Jewish intellectuals, imprisoned in the Mauthausen, Austria, concentration camp, paid a heavy price for this Nazi prejudice."
