- The
Story
of Jan Zwartendijk and his Legacy to Judaism by David Kranzler (Author of
"The Nazis, the Japanese and the Jews")
Lately, many righteous gentiles have been honored by the Jewish community for saving the
lives of Jews before and during the Holocaust. Included among them was the Japanese consul
in Kaunas in July 1940, Chiune Sugihara. This is the story of Jan Zwartendijk, the man who
made it possible for Sugihara to do what he did. For the first time since World War II, he
is being thanked, posthumously, for what he accomplished during those dark days.

The Einsatzgruppen Reports: The genocide began not in the camps or in the gas chambers but with four
small groups of murderers known as the Einsatzgruppen formed by Himmler and Heydrich
immediately before the invasion of the Soviet Union. They operated in the territories
captured by the German armies during the invasion of the Soviet Union and, with the
cooperation of German army units and local militias, murdered over a million men, women
and children.
