February 1, 1943:

• February: "Adam Goetz, a Hamburg engineer instrumental in the development of dirigibles, dies in the Lódz (Poland) Ghetto.

• "Jewish Resistance leader Moise Fingercwajg, age 20, is executed in France."

"For some Jews in the Occupied Netherlands, simply to hide from the Nazis was a gambit that worked--as it did for this elderly couple, Coen and Ella van Eekeres-Jünge, who hid in this tiny Amsterdam basement.
Discomfort and inconvenience were the least of the perils associated with hiding; the primary residents of the building had to be completely committed to the safety of their Jewish guests and cognizant of the grave risks to themselves.
Also, they had to be wary of antisemitic neighbors and even relatives, as well as the inevitable snooping of Nazi authorities."

Iirc, the arrest and deportation of Jews in Southern France is just getting going. I read an interesting book recently about Catholic priests and religious involved in rescuing Jews in this area.
