Gare du Bourget
Le Bourget is an RER station in Le Bourget, a northern suburb of Paris, in Seine-Saint-Denis department France. The station is in Zone 3 of the Carte orange. It is situated on the RER B suburban railway line.
Gare du Bourget was the primary point of deportation for French Jews during the Holocaust. Between March 27 1942 and June 23, 1943, forty two convoys carrying 40,450 Jews, left Le Bourget for Auschwitz and other death camps in Poland. Most had been imprisoned in the nearby Drancy internment camp. Drancy was organized, staffed and initially commanded by the civilian French police, and it was they who rounded up most of the victims. As Le Bourget station was too visible to the wider public, the next 21 convoys left the Bobigny freight station.
