Convoy 32, September 14, 1942 (Drancy)
Convoy 32
deported 99 children, 54 boys and 45 girls. Just over half (54) were foreign
born, including all those on this convoy from the Unoccupied Zone. This group
included 18 children from the area around Clermont-Ferrand, in south-central
France, assembled at Montluçon. In the Occupied Zone the children came
mainly from the camps at Lalande (13) and Poiters (9), and from Paris.
Convoy 33, September 16,
1942 (Drancy)
Convoy 33 deported 103 children, 56 boys and 47
girls. Half (53) were born in France. From Rivesaltes in the southern part of
the Unoccupied Zone – which had become, like Drancy in the north, a
central gathering point for interned Jews – came adolescents between ages
15 and 18 whose parents had already been handed over and deported. There were
also 30 younger children who had been arrested in places throughout the
Unoccupied Zone, gathered at Rivesaltes, and then sent on to Drancy. The rest
came from the Occupied Zone, mainly from around Paris.
There are six
sublists for this convoy.

Joseph (47), Anna (45), and their four children, Djamba (21), Marcel (15),

youngest, was born in Paris. Feiga Levine (38) had her two daughters, Rachel
(14) and Ethel (4).

6. Camp of Rivesaltes – 571 names.
This group had arrived at Drancy from Rivesaltes on September 15. Most were

to Rivesaltes on September 10 and 11. Nationality was recorded, but not place
of birth. There were 250 Poles, 201 Germans, 99 Austrians, 10 Belgians, 7
Hungarians, 5 Russians, 1 Romanian, 1 Lithuanian, and 7 stateless. There were
