Convoy 29 had
152 children under age 18, 77 boys and 75 girls. Ninety-two of them were

to be sent to Drancy from the Unoccupied Zone. About 50 came from the area
around Marseilles, through the camp at Les Milles; about 5 from Rivesaltes,
near the Spanish border; 12 from Nice; and 10 from Le Vernet. From the Occupied

from Les Milles.
Convoy 31,
September 11, 1942 (Drancy)
Convoy 31 deported 195 children, 104

(41), Pithiviers (20), and Beaune-la-Rolande (5). Those from the Unoccupied
Zone had been held mainly at Rivesaltes (73) and Saint-Sulpice (21).
