Situated in an unfinished city in the northeast suburbs of Paris, the Drancy camp became from 1941 onwards the main internment camp for Jews in France, and then, under German administration from July 1943, the almost sole antechamber to deportation. Nearly 63,000 of the approximately 74,000 Jews deported from France passed through there before their departure — via the nearby stations of Le Bourget and then Bobigny — to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Overcrowding, hunger, the anguish of the convoys: Drancy remains, along with the yellow star, one of the emblematic sites of persecution in France. The site is today a memorial.
