2	excerpted from http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/RESOURCE/GALLERY/DRAN.HTM: History of the camp: The camp at Drancy was a transit camp not far outside of Paris. In 1939 the camp was used to hold refugees from the fascist regime in Spain. In 1940 these refugees were given over to the Nazis. In 1941 the French police, under the authority of the Nazi regime, conducted raids throughout France that imprisoned French Jews. Many victims of these raids were taken to Drancy. Approximately 3000 prisoners died in French camps from lack of medical care, unsanitary conditions, and starvation. On the nights of the 16th and 17th of July, 1942 the Great Raid of the "Vel d'Hiv" occurred. The Velodrome d'Hiver was a stadium in Paris built for bike racing. During this police operation, which was organized by the Petain government and the Nazi occupation administration, over 12,800 men, women and children (3031 men, 5802 women, and 4051 children) were taken to the velodrome and kept there for 5 days without food or medical care and then transferred to Drancy. The children were immediately separated from their parents upon arrival, and the parents were then sent to the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Oftentimes, the children remained for weeks in Drancy without care or sufficient food. Many died, particularly babies and the very young, because of lack of care and the brutality of the guards. Eventually they were all transported to Auschwitz and gassed. Over 6,000 Jewish children from France were imprisoned and transported to Nazi extermination camps to their deaths between July 17th and September 30, 1942.	Family: F43
