Ghost Train
On July 1944, while France was being liberated, 580 internees Camp Vernet d'Ariège and prison Saint-Michel - the most resistors from all over Europe - departed Toulouse under escort Nazi; the notorious Ghost Train.
Crammed into cattle cars, the group departed Bordeaux August 9, 1944 with 155 other resistant from the Southwest. These deportees arrived at the Dachau concentration camp August 28, 1944, after two months of inhuman transport. The 65 women in this convoy were then conducted to Ravenbrück.
Several of them died during the trip. Many resistance fighters managed to escape - often with the help of railway workers - to resume the fight.
The 540 deportees arrived at Dachau, only half survived. Never forget the victims of the Nazi barbarity. Honor the heroes of the Resistance.
