(USHMM 1993, 37) 1944 In Paris the resistance kills Minister of Information Phillipe Henriot, a radio commentator and a high-ranking officer in the `Milice.' Paul Touvier, head of the `Milice' in Lyon, is ordered to shoot hostages in reprisal for Henriot's death, and on June 30 he selects seven of twenty- five Jewish prisoners to be executed by firing squad. (USHMM 1994, 47) Radio Kossuth, Communist-sponsored broadcasts aimed at Hungary, announces that two hundred thousand Hungarian Jews have been killed in the past few months. This broadcast follows several programs in the preceding three months warning of the extermination of the Jews and Hungarian responsibility for it. (Ibid.) The British war cabinet approves a memorandum by the lord chancellor which states, in part, that Britain will gather evidence of German atrocities against Jews only in occupied countries, since German crimes against German Jews could in their view not be considered war crimes.
