DEPORTATION CONVOYS: "FRENCH CHILDREN OF THE HOLOCAUST"

A preview of a book on Google Books:
“FRENCH CHILDREN OF THE HOLOCAUST: A MEMORIAL”
--“ Le Memorial des Enfants Juif Deportes de France”--

In general, it has been noted that, in some cases, Yiddish names were used for children born in Poland (when they were known), and French names for children born in France (if available on various documents).  If only the birth year was known, a birth date of January 1 of the year indicated was used.
