Convoy 60, October 7, 1943 (Drancy)
Convoy 60
deported 104 children, 46 boys and 58 girls. This was the first convoy
following the German takeover of what had been the Occupied Italian Zone in
southeastern France. Particularly brutal roundups instituted by Brunner, who
moved into Nice early in September with SS police, would net close to 2,000
Jews in the following months. This convoy included 30 children from Nice taken
in those roundups. It also included inmates from mental hospitals, described
briefly by Professor Robert Waitz:
The voyage in closed cattle cars began
at Drancy on October 7, 1943. In each car, one or two pails of water and a
sanitary bucket; 95 to 100 persons squeezed together, without sufficient
provisions. In two infirmary cars, where there are some straw mattresses on the
floor, are the old, those recovering from typhoid or pneumonia, pregnant women,
women with infants, etc., and nine screaming women who were taken from an
insane asylum by the Germans. It is difficult to care for people in these
infirmary wagons as the medicine is in an ordinary car and we are not allowed
to go pick it up during the stops. During one stop, I try to obtain heart
medicine for one old man who is fainting repeatedly; the German NCO tells me:
"Let him croak, he'll be dead soon anyway." Among the families
were Erna Koch and her two babies, Monique (1) and Nicole, who had just been
born on July 22. Herta Bolz also had an infant, Henri (2 months), and Elise
(3). Others included: Victoria Bovetis and her five children, Maurice (14),
Michel (12), Suzanne (10), Simone (8), and Jacqueline (6); Raymond (17), Marcel
(16), and Huguette (11) Chorezyk; Annie Feder (3); Simone Friedmann (8); Jean
Frydman (7); Bernard (12) and
Irène (7) Garfunkel; Colette
Goldstein (3); Simon Horyn (1); Raymonde Levy (3); Marc Rosenberg (10 months); and Camille Sayagh (28)
and her five children, Reine (10) Henri (8), Claude (4), Georges (2), and
Nicole (10 months).
Convoy 61,
October 28, 1943 (Drancy)
Convoy 61 deported 137 children, 67
boys and 70 girls. Many came from the ongoing roundups in southeastern France:
35 from the Côte d'Azur, 26 from around Marseilles, and 4 from Savoie.
