On March 27, 1942, the first deportation train from France to the Auschwitz extermination camp left here. Of the 1,112 deportees, 19 survived until 1945. 41 further transports followed from France.
There were over 50,000 prisoners there at that time. In a screened area, Camp C, the living conditions for the prisoners were fatal.
After the Second World War, the former warehouse was used as a French barracks. The 58e régiment de commandement et de transmissions and the 51e régiment de transmissions were housed .
A memorial to the deportations was inaugurated on February 23, 2008.
