THE LAST CONVOY [52’]
The moving story of French-resistance women fighters deported to Auschwitz
They were mothers, daughters, members of the Resistance, communists for the most part, whose only "crime" was to have risen against the Nazis.
These 230 anonymous heroines, forgotten by history, were deported one morning in January 1943 in a convoy known as the "31000" in reference to the number tattooed on their arms. They made up the only non-Jewish French train sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. From this journey to hell, only 49 returned.
Without women, the Internal Resistance could never have existed, yet they were quickly forgotten, history having only remembered the men's fight.
