(Goldhagen, 142, Fleming, 68) Hitler speaks to the German Reichstag, and tells them that another world war will result in the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe. (3418-PS) (NCA II, 476) 1941 Adolf Hitler reminds Germans of his 1939 prophecy (see 1939, above), and added: "They [the Jews] may also laugh about it even today, just as they laughed earlier about my prophecies. The coming months and years will prove that I have been right." Just less than three months earlier, on November 8, 1940, Hitler had referred to his "prophcy" as something that was still off on the horizon. Yet now ... he could say that he would begin to play it out in "the coming months." (Goldhagen, 147-148) 1943 Zegota, the Council for Aid to the Jews, a Warsaw-based clandestine organization of Polish citizens created in December 1942, urges the Warsaw delegate of the Polish government-in-exile to endeavor to remove thousands of Jewish children from the endangered Warsaw ghetto. The appeal goes unanswered. (USHMM, 1993. Pg. 21) Also in January, 1943: Yiddish leaflets distributed in the Bialystok ghetto in Poland urge the Jews to fight against "evacuation." ...Fifteen hundred Jews are deported from the labor camp in the Polish city of Radom to the killing center of Treblinka....German, Polish, and Russian Jehovah's Witnesses form secret study groups in the Neuengamme concentration camp in Germany....The Germans establish a new concentration camp for Dutch Jews at Vught, also known as `s Hertogenbosch, in a former police detention center in North Brabant....The German occupation authorities in Holland prohibit Jews from maintaining private bank accounts....The Milice, a 25,000 man police force, is established in Vichy France to collaborate with the Gestapo in arresting French resisters and rounding up Jews....The remaining Jews in the Radom ghetto in Poland are deported to Treblinka and to a labor camp in Skarzysko-Kamienna. (USHMM, 1993. Pg. 21-22) 1944 Seven hundred Italian Jews are deported from Milan and Verona to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Ninety-seven men and thirty- one women are registered for labor; 572 are sent to their death on arrival. (USHMM, 1994. Pg. 27) Also in January 1944: The young Italian-Jewish chemist Primo Levi, arrested on December 13, 1943, as a member of Giustizia e Liberta ("Justice and Liberty," Italy's major non-Marxist anti-Fascist organization) arrives at the Fossoli interment and transit camp....Widespread raids by the French police in Laon, Saint-Quentin, Amiens, Reims, and Poitiers result in the arrest of hundreds of French and foreign Jews as well as persons with suspicious or illegal documents....The Portuguese ship Nyassa sails from Lisbon and Cadiz for Palestine with 170 Jewish emigrants from Portugal and 560 Jewish emigrants from Spain and Tangier.
