| Pourquoi les Pays Baltes ? |
Aujourd’hui, si l’essentiel de l’histoire du convoi 73 est connu, de nombreux mystères entourent toujours le voyage de ces 878 hommes emmenés, le 15 mai 1944, par les nazis, de Drancy jusqu’au Fort n° 9 de Kovno (Lituanie) ou à la prison Patarei de Tallinn (Estonie). Le convoi 73 est le seul train ayant emmené des Juifs de France dans les pays Baltes. Ni les archives de guerre, ni les criminels nazis jugés n’en ont révélé la raison. Il existe une hypothèse moyennement crédible selon laquelle, devant l’avancée des Soviétiques, les nazis avaient besoin de main-d’oeuvre pour effacer les traces de leurs crimes, notamment brûler les corps dans les fosses communes

| Notes et mémoire de guerre de Fernand Farssac dit Toutyva |
Chef de brigade à la gendarmerie de Lautrec en 1940, Fernand Farssac a permis de sauver 80 jeunes juifs réfugiés dans la ferme école des Ormes à Lautrec, en les prévenant ou les faisant prévenir chaque fois qu'il aura connaissance d'ordres visant à les arrêter.
Fernand Farssac est né le 19 avril 1902 au Garric. Il était le fils aîné d'Auguste Farssac, mineur à Sainte-Marie à Blaye, et de Marie-Julienne Fenouillet. Il s'est éteint le 21 février 1964 à Albi. Il a reçu la Médaille des Justes en 2004.
Ce document, rédigé par Gérard Farssac, fils de Fernand Farssac, résume l’action de son père entre 1940 et 1944. Il lui a permis, aidé par ses carnets de notes, de retracer son action pendant la clandestinité et pendant le Maquis.

| Sandra Marc – Forced relocation of Jews by the Vichy government |
This case study makes it possible to better understand the nature of forced relocation: what were the methods and the means used by Vichy to carry out this exclusionary plan? How did Jews and non-Jews live together in the towns slated for forced relocation? Lastly, what were people’s reactions to the roundups that began during the summer of 1942?
