In mid-July, the German police ordered the arrest of Jews of both sexes, French and foreign alike, in Maine-et-Loire and the surrounding departments. Those apprehended were gathered at the grand séminaire d'Angers, from which a convoy departed directly to Haute-Silésie without passing through Drancy. This was the only deportation convoy to leave the provinces by a route other than through the Paris region.
