Reinhard Heydrich
Born on March 7, 1904, Reinhard Heydrich was the chief of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA). He was the one to present the plans to coordinate the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question” to officials from the German State and the Nazi Party. (The "Final Solution" was, essentially, the complete annhilation of all the European Jews.) Reinhard was the highest-ranking Nazi official in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

Wannsee Conference and The Final Solution
Assasination of Reinhard Heydrich
When Heydrich was assasinated on May 27, 1942 by Czech agents, Adolf Hitler personally ordered for the destruction of Lidice in retaliation. The village of Lidice was set on fire, the remains of the buildings destroyed. All men over the age of 16 were shot by German units, and most of the women and children were deported to camps in Germany. This barbarity and destruction became a rallying cry for all opponents of the Nazi regime. The village was rebuilt after the fall of Nazi Germany.
Yellow Badges
In November on 1938, Reinard Heydrich recommended Jews be required to wear identification badges with different symbols. These badges were yellow and represented the Star of David. Each country had a different yellow badge they were required to wear. Poland was the first country to be required to wear these badges in 1939. If there were Jews who didn't wear these badges on the front and back of their shirts were severely punished. These badges allowed German officials to identify, starve and murder Jews.

Taking the Offensive (for both sides)
German forces attacked the Soviet Union in Stalingrad on June 28th. The Soviet forces stopped their advance and began a counteroffensive in mid-November. They circled a German army of more than 220,000 soldiers. After months of fighting and many casualties, the 91,000 remaining German soldiers surrendered. In response, the Nazi state called for fanatic devotion from Germans and the cruelest treatment for their enemies. Nonetheless, the German forces had begun the long retreat west that would lead up to the surrender of Germany and the end of the war.
George Mandel-Mantello
Jews who had official documents from other countries were often able to escape deportation. George Mandel was one such lucky Jew. He was a Hungarian businessman appointed as Genevas, Switzerland's Consulate's first secretary by a friend he made leading up to WWII--a Salvadoran diplomant named José Arturo Castellanos. Castellanos was also El Salvador’s Consul General, and the one who appointed Mandel his position.
Using his diplomatic position, George Mandel issued documents identifying thousands of European Jews as citizens of El Salvador. He sent notarized copies of these certificates into Europe, in the hopes of saving the holders from the Nazis.

Example Certificate
This is a certificate George Mandel sent to leaders of the Children’s Aid Society (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants; OSE), Julien and Vivette Samuel. Mandel would send many certificates to Jews who took active roles in rescue and resistance in Europe.

German Poster
September 5th, 1942
This picture is of a German-issued poster detailing that anyone aiding the Jews will be laden with the death penalty. Here is a translation...
Announcement
Death Penalty for Aid to Jews who have left the Jewish residential areas without permission.
Recently, many Jews have left their designated Jewish residential areas. For the time, they are in the Warsaw District.
I remind you that according to the Third Decree of the General Governor's concerning the residential restrictions in the General Government of 10/15/1941 (VBL; abbreviation for Verordnungsblatt Generalgouvernement, p. 595) not only Jews who have left their designated residential area will be punished with death, but the same penalty applies to anyone who knowingly provides refuge to such Jews. This includes not only the providing of a night's lodging and food, but also any other aid, such as transporting them in vehicles of any sort, through the purchase of Jewish valuables, etc.
I ask the population of the Warsaw District to immediately report any Jew who resides outside of a Jewish residential area to the nearest police station or gendarmerie post.
Whoever provided or currently provides aid to a Jew will not be prosecuted if it is reported to the nearest police station by 4 pm on 9/9/42.
Likewise, those who deliver valuables acquired from a Jew to 20 Niska Street or the nearest police or gendarme post by 4 pm on 9/9/42 will not be prosecuted.
