February 10, 1943:

• "Of 1,015 Jews on a deportation train that arrives at Auschwitz from Holland, 800--including all of the children--are immediately gassed.
  1,229 Jews are deported from Westerbork, Holland, to Auschwitz."

"With his body held taut by two Kapos, a camp prisoner awaits the sting of the lash on his bare back.
Even the slightest offense could lead to harsh penalties.
Punishment, like this whipping, could so weaken an inmate that he could no longer work, and failure to work meant death.
This drawing by Hungarian artist Gyorgy Kadar, who survived five camps, powerfully conveys the inmate's suffering and anguish."

"Deportations of Dutch Jews began in 1942 and were largely complete two years later.
Most of the deportees were sent to Westerbork, and from there to Auschwitz or Sobibór.
Few Jewish citizens of the Netherlands remained in the country in 1944, and their options were limited: hide; pay outrageous sums to local extortionists who promised to delay or cancel deportation orders; or resist.
Here, members of the Dutch underground secrete a rifle and 9mm ammunition beneath a bathroom floor."
