Convoy 62, November 20, 1943 (Drancy)

Convoy 62 deported 152 children, 78 boys and 74 girls. Most of the children were taken in roundups in the countryside throughout France. About 30 were from the Côte d'Azur, caught by Brunner's special commando unit. Among those in convoy 62: Paul Cerf (42), his wife Jeanne (40), and their three children, Claude (10), Marthe (5), and Charles (3); Sarah Lambert (41) and her three children, Gérard (17), Francine (14), and Jean-Pierre (8); Lydia Hassan and Arlette Katz, both only 1 year old; Via Abrahams (23) and her two children, Isidore (2) and Alexandre (2 months); another 2-month old infant, Jean-Michel Levi; Julie Ouzillou (38) and her six children, Maxime (19), Nelly (18), Maurice (10), Roger (7), Jean (5), and Isidore (3); the seven Schneck children deported without their parents, Klara (16), Maurice (14), Marie (12), twins Suzanne and Teti (9), Albert (4), and Shirley (2); and Bernard (51) and Paula Weichselbaum and their five children, Abraham (21), Lya (18), Susi (17), Erik (19), and Friedel (1); and so many others ….

Convoy 64, December 7, 1943 (Drancy)

[This convoy is numbered 64 because of a Gestapo mix-up in the files with the convoy of December 17, which is numbered 63. The original numbering is maintained here.]

Convoy 64 deported 156 children, 79 boys and 77 girls. As with those deported on convoy 62, most had been arrested in the countryside. Almost half were brought from a gathering point in the Côte d'Azur: they had fled St.-Martin-de-Vésubie, on the French side of the border with Italy, into Italy, only to be caught by Germans newly occupying the Italian towns.

Convoy 64 included Chaja Weisenfeld (30) and her month-old twins, Fernande and Jeanine; the three Gutwirth sisters, Fanny (20), Schewa (17), and Malka (15), and with them Dora Haimowitch (91); five Berenstam children, Suzanne (22), Maurice (20), Frida (18), Henri (12), and Jeanne (10); four Darmon children, Jacqueline (12), Paulette (9), Gilberte (6), and José (5); Georges (14), Marie (11), and Pierre (5) Deutsch; four Erdberg children, Bernard (11), Estelle (9), Thérèse (5), and Victor (3); Tauba Fischer (35) and her four children, Anna (12), Rosa (5), Chil (2), and an 8-month-old baby; and three Itic children, Léa (20), Suzanne (17), and Paulette (16).
