Biography

My great-grandfather died during deportation. I have no picture of him or information available, and his birth certificate and that of his son, who died in 1969, record only a few details.

 

Surname: Marcouyre

First name: Adrien, Ludovic

Born on: 10 November 1893

In: Roubia (in sourthern France, département de l’Aude (11), near to Lézignan Corbières).

 

He was a farmer, probably a vintner. During the occupation he was in the Résistance.

He was a ‘protective custody prisoner’ with number 98600 and was first in the Dachau concentration camp before finally arriving in Mauthausen (‘Quarz’, i.e. Melk) on 16 September 1944. He died on 17 December 1944. His name is listed at the memorial site in Melk.
