Rolande. Of the 150
boys and 139 girls, 85 percent (247) had been born in France, most in Paris.
Most continued to live in Paris and were caught there in the Vel d'Hiv roundup.
This convoy included nine children born in 1940 or later.

Convoy 26, August 31,
1942 (Drancy)
There were 235 children in convoy 26, 123 boys
and 112 girls. A third of them had been in the Pithiviers and Beaune-la-Rolande
camps (80); others were taken from Bordeaux (35) and Drancy (56), where they
had been interned with their families.
Convoy 26 also included the
first children from the Unoccupied Zone to be handed over to the Gestapo by the
Vichy government. They had been sent to Drancy on August 19. As a result, this
convoy had a higher proportion of foreign-born children than the preceding
convoys (at least 80, or one-third). These children, all immigrants, had been
living in Corrèze (at least 9), Haute-Vienne (at least 17), Dordogne (at
least 29), and Creuse (at least 15), departments in the central part of France
south of the Vichy line. They were all brought to a camp at Nexon before being
sent on to Drancy. From there, about 50 were sent to Auschwitz on convoy 26,
and the rest on subsequent convoys. These numbers are minimums because the
lists from the Unoccupied Zone include only the first and last names of
