Summer 1942 marked the beginning of mass deportations of Jews from French soil to Auschwitz-Birkenau. For the first time, women and children were arrested in large numbers. By the end of July, the need to fill quotas led the authorities to deport parents from the internment camps without their children. Left alone to fend for themselves for a few more weeks, the children were ultimately deported as well.

Beginning in late 1940, over three thousand Jewish girls and young women were forced from their family homes in Sosnowiec, Poland and its surrounding towns to worksites in Germany. Believing that they were helping their families to survive, these young people were thrust into a world where they labored at textile work for twelve hours a day, lived in barracks with little food, and received only periodic news of events back home. By late 1943, their barracks had been transformed into concentration camps, where they were held until liberation in 1945.
