The film begins in a northern suburb of Paris, in the abandoned station of Bobigny, departure of deportation trains which embarqued in lifestock wagons the jewish prisoners from Drancy to the extermination camps of Auschwitz, Maïdanek or Sobibor. Opened on the 20th August 1941, the Drancy camp was the only one in France to detain exclusively Jews or those considered as such by the laws edicted by the Vichy government, either directly conveyed there or sorted out amongst the jewish internees of other French camps.This tragic and for a long time hidden history is transmitted there by the testimonies of internees who were deported or have escaped deportation and who attended, powerless, the departures to an unknown destination, ... then called "Nacht und Nebel" ( " Night and Fog " ). From March 1942 to August 1944 , 76 174 jews, of whom more then 11 000 children, were deported from the Drancy camp. In 1945, there was less than 3 000 deportees survivors.
