The Shoah (1939–1945)
Roundups in Bordeaux and the Mérignac camp
1943·Bordeaux et Mérignac
The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
Arrests resume in Gironde and empty the Mérignac camp toward Drancy.
Throughout the year, the German police continue arresting Jews in Gironde, now targeting French families and children in foster care. Those apprehended are interned at the Mérignac camp and then transferred to Drancy. Convoys also depart directly from Bordeaux toward the Paris region. The city's Portuguese community, long protected by its historical roots and diplomatic efforts, is no longer spared.
