Marking the 80^th anniversary of the deportation of Baden and Saar-Palatinate Jews to the southern French internment camp of Gurs on the edge of the Pyrenees, the authors Dr. Bernd Hainmüller and Dr. Christiane Walesch-Schneller addressed the question of the route taken by the deportation trains. Their article, “Die Rheinbrücke Breisach. Der letzte Blick auf die Heimat der badischen Deportierten nach Gurs – 22./23. Oktober 1940,” was published in the Zeitschrift für die Geschichte des Oberrheins, Vol. 168 (2020).
