This film is about a little known aspect of the deportation of Jews from France. It explains how, in August 1942, 11 000 men, women, children, Jews who had fled to the south of France entirely under the authority of the Vichy regime, were arrested by police and gendarmes in the French term fully prepared to raids by French officials. Based on the story of survivors, supported by the analysis of eminent historians, this documentary reconstructs the details of this crime. It was supported by the FMS.
