November 21, 1943:
- November 19: "Prisoners from Sonderkommando 1005, a corpse-burning unit, revolt at the Janówska, Ukraine, slave-labor camp near Lvov.
A leader of the uprising, Leon Weliczker, is one of the few who survive. - "One thousand Jews are shot at the Jewish cemetery outside Sandomierz, Poland."

"Reich Minister Richard Walther Darré greets Hitler in 1943.
Darré's background in agriculture and economics propelled him to the head of the Race and Settlement Office (RuSHA) and the head of the Office for Agricultural Policy.
He was dismissed from his posts for criticizing how Hitler and Himmler handled the war, and was consequently banished to his hunting lodge in Schorfheide, Germany."
