| Summary: | Jews from France, the Netherlands and Belgium begin to migrate for safety to the Swiss border in 1942, when the « final solution » is triggered by the Nazi authorities.

A first migration goes directly from the Netherlands and Belgium towards the Swiss northern border. A larger one reaches, from the whole of non occupied France, the area round Geneva, Lake Léman and Valais, as soon as the roundups of the Vichy government have taken place. |
