The last Jews of the Sarre were rounded up together with those of Bade and the Palatinat and taken to Gurs.
The Sarre had been reunited with the Reich five years earlier by plebiscite, and most of its Jews had emigrated immediately.

This is a constant feature of these deportations: they first reach those whom persecution had already ruined.
