Imprisoned at la Sante, they were allowed to see each other for the last time on the morning of May 23. Later that day, Dudach was executed by firing squad at le Mont-Valerien. Delbo herself was subsequently transferred to Romainville, and then, between January 24 and 27, 1943, was deported through Compiegne to Auschwitz in a convoy of 230 women, only 49 of whom returned.
