Three nurses pose outside the Jewish hospital in Tarnow, Poland. The Nazis began to deport Tarnow's Jews to the Belzec death camp in 1942. On September 2, 1943, when the Nazis began the liquidation of the ghetto, the remaining population resisted. The Germans used force to put down the rebellion and deported the remaining Jews to Auschwitz and Plaszow.

A 1942 telegram from the Riga, Latvia, office of Sipo, the Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police), testifies to the Nazis' methodical approach to killing. Sent to three Einsatzkommandos (special killing units), the telegram requests specific data regarding the number of people who have been executed. Specific numbers are requested for the following categories: Jews, Communists, partisans, and mentally ill, as well as women and children.
