This group photograph was taken at the Rothschild Hospital, from which Aloïs Brunner drew his victims with relish. It shows eight young mothers with their babies. Suzanne Grouman YAHIA, whose younger sisters were deported under the name Grouman, is the fourth mother from the left. Suzanne had married Samuel Yahia when she was 17. She was just 19 when her daughter Eugénie was born in Lille (Nord), on August 20, 1938. Arrested when she was again pregnant, Suzanne was interned at the Rothschild Hospital until she gave birth, so that both she and her baby could be deported. Suzanne and Jacqueline, born on February 17, 1943, were deported on convoy 57 of July 18, 1943. That convoy included at least nine mothers with small babies, one of whom was six days old. Eugénie, who had been taken in at the UGIF children's center in Louveciennes, was arrested by Brunner's Gestapo on July 21, 1944, and deported on the last big convoy from Drancy, convoy 77, of July 31, 1944.
