Bobigny station
Between July 1943 and August 1944, approximately 22,500 Jews were deported from Bobigny Station (Gare), north of Paris, to eastern Europe, mainly Auschwitz and Sobibor. These were Jews who had been interned in the detention camp Drancy, about two kilometers from Gare Bobigny. Between June 1942 and June 1943, the Jews were deported from Bourget station, but this station was not as secluded as Bobigny and thus more exposed for outsiders to witness. Therefore, from July 1943, the Germans chose to deport the Jews from the more secluded Gare Bobigny. All together 21 transports left Bobigny for eastern Europe.
