Ultimately 83 people were deported to the extermination camps of Sobibor and Auschwitz, and to a lesser extent to Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, and Majdanek.
[6] These activities became known by the Nazis and served as a pretext for the Gestapo to raid the UGIF premises in Lyon, although their actual aim was simply to round up and send as many Jews as possible to the extermination camps.
[10] Gilberte Jacob, one of the few survivors of the roundup reported at the trial of Barbie that she was at her reception desk when, in the early afternoon, three men armed with revolvers arrested her.
In total 30 people were present in the UGIF offices when a dozen Gestapo men dressed in plain clothes arrived.
[13] Among the arrested people were Victor Szulklaper and Michel Kroskof-Thomas,[14] who both managed to convince Barbie that they were not Jewish thanks to counterfeit documents.
[citation needed] On 8 February 1943, Léa Katz-Weiss, then 16 years old, had overheard that a roundup was going to take place in the Grande synagogue de Lyon the next day.
She managed to convince a Gestapo officer to let her go in exchange for her coming back the next morning to the Hôtel Terminus,[19] so that she could warn her ill mother of her impending departure.
Two people, David Luksemberg and Driller Siegfried,[21] managed to escape during this time in the early morning hours of 11 February 1943.
At some point, Malvine Lanzet was released from Drancy, possibly owing to her youth and placed in the care of the UGIF in Paris.
[45] In April 1943, the head of the UGIF in Lyon at the time of the roundup, Robert Kahn, was sacked and replaced by Raymond Geissmann.
[46] In 1983, Serge Klarsfeld accessed the archives of the Union générale des israélites de France which had been brought to the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York shortly after 1945.
[...] "In remembrance of the Jews rounded up by the Gestapo on 9 February 1943 at the premises of the Fédération des Sociétés Juives de France and the Aid Committee for the Refugees, 12 Rue Sainte Catherine, Lyon 1: 86 people were arrested and 80 were deported of which 3 survived."
