Hommes, femmes et enfants furent arrêtés et parqués au Gymnase Japy. Internés au camp de Drancy, ils furent ensuite déportés dans le camp de concentration d’Auschwitz et exterminés dans les chambres de gaz. Pendant la guerre de 1939-1945, les Juifs furent victimes des persecutions nazies. Des rafles massives furent ordonnées à partir de 1941, dont la grande rafle du Vel d’Hiv le 16 juillet 1942.
