The last Jews leave Bruchsal, October 18, 1940] A line of Jews, wearing warm clothing and carrying suitcases and bags, files past the camera. They are guarded by uniformed Germans, including police. Many people in civilian clothes stand in the background, watching the deportation. Uniformed Germans follow behind the last of the Jews. The last Jews of Bruchsal were deported to Gurs in France in October 1940
