Abstract

A first roundup took place on June 25th 1943, in Clermont-Ferrand, in the hostel of students from Alsace and Lorraine, called La Gallia. An assistant-professor and two Alsatian pharmacy students were arrested and died later on in a concentration camp. Five months later, a great operation was savagely conducted by German army and Gestapo, against the University of Strasbourg, which had moved to Clermont-Ferrand since September 1939. A professor was killed, others wounded or mauled. It was also the case with many students from the various faculties. A hundred and fifty professors and students were sent to concentration camps, two of the pharmacy students from the Clermont University never came back to France. Three of our lady colleagues, who lived through the second roundup (November 25th 1943) give their hitherto unpublished testimonies.
