Chaim, Estelle & Miriam GRÜNBAUM were in the region of Nice, Côte d'Azur, where they were rounded up in the notorious "Rafles d'août" in August 1942.

TRANSLATION into English:

Page 74:

And so she (Anna FALL, née SELIGMANN) moved with her children to Villa Beauregard, which also appears in the archives under the name of Villa Stone, located above Nice, on the road to Pessicart. It was a huge building with forty rooms, in the middle of several hectares of land, which in 1940 became the shelter of many Jewish families, helped by the Refugee Committee in Nice, supported by American Jewish associations such as the Joint Distribution Committee, It was a kind of kibbutz, existing with food self-sufficiency, where the families, most often of urban origin, learned agricultural and breeding skills in the perspective of a hypothetical emigration to Palestine. I went in search of the Villa Beauregard, 240, avenue de Pessicart, to get a feel for the place. In vain. A demolition permit was granted on February 13, 1989. Six months later, a building permit was granted for the construction of a group of villas. An impenetrable perimeter wall, cameras, automatic gates, photoelectric cells have transformed into an American-style "gated community" what was a haven of peace and hope before the disaster. No commemorative plaque reminds the pedestrian, very sparse anyway on this section of the road, what once happened here.

Page 84:

At 1 a.m., on a clear night, eight French police officers suddenly appeared at Villa Beauregard ... Since the Vel d'Hiv roundup in Paris, five weeks earlier, refugees from the so-called "free zone" had been on alert . The men felt threatened by the prospect of forced labour in Germany, so they were used to sleeping on the ground floor of the house in order to flee more quickly. Most managed to do precisely this but five of them were eventually captured. They were then taken, together with the women and children, to the Auvare barracks, eight kilometers away, chosen as a place of "concentration of the Jews" by the prefect. Only one occupant remained in the building, prostrate, hearing the cars moving away in the silence of the night, It was Bernard Fall.
