NAZI METHODS
HARROWING SCENE IN FRENCH CONCENTRATION CAMP.
At the concentration camp of Drancy, near Paris, orders were received for 3.000 Jews to be sent to Germany without delay. There were only 2,500 in the camp Another 500 were rounded up by the French police. Huddled together for warmth in the centre of an open space, they lay all night under the glare of searchlights, praying, or singing the “Marseillaise.” Every fifteen minutes a list of names of these who were to be sent east was posted.
As the trains of cattle trucks steamed slowly away, a thousand voices took up the "Marseillaise.” The French police who had been forced to carry out the arrests stood on the platform and wept.
