Wagner-Bürckel Action in the Palatinate

22-23 oct. 1940·Palatinat

Toll
~800 déportés

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

The communities of the Palatinate are rounded up on the same day as those of Baden and deported to Gurs.

The communities of the Palatinate were rounded up on the same day as those of Baden and deported to Gurs.

The simultaneity shows that this was a coordinated operation between two neighboring Gauleiter, and not a series of separate initiatives. It emptied of their Jews the Rhenish regions where Jewish presence dated back to the Middle Ages — Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, the three cities that had formed the cradle of Ashkenazi Judaism, lie within this zone or on its fringes.
