It is reported that more than 75,000 French Jews were transported from the camp to death camps in Germany.
The court found the French state and the rail firm SNCF had been
complicit in crimes against humanity and they have been ordered to pay
compensation of 60,000 euros ($80,000, £43,000) to the family.
Campaigners called the verdict a landmark decision, but the SNCF says
they are planning to appeal and Yves Baudelot said the company could
not be held responsible because it was forced to cooperate with the
Germans during the war.
