Gatet and other women were led by soldiers into the women's camp of Birkenau. When they entered the camp, knowing that they were a "little out in luck," they sang La Marseillaise. Gatet was tattooed on the left forearm and registered under registration number 31833, and underwent various tests. With the other women of the convoy, she was then quarantined in Block No. 14, given chores and undernourished. This was often enough to kill the older prisoners. The survivors were then taken to the main camp for anthropometric photography. The living conditions became worse for all the prisoners. Since 24 January 1943, any form of communication between Gatet and her family had been broken, while they tried in vain to find information about her whereabouts by sending letters to various public authorities. In February 1943, a secretary suggested seeking among prisoners for biologists, botanists and chemists to form the "Kommando Raisko," a program responsible for researching a species of dandelion, whose root is rich in latex. They were hoping to provide an alternative to rubber from the rubber tree that was sorely lacking in the German industry during the war. Gatet died before the program began in the middle of the month. No obituary was sent by the Nazi police to her family, which explains the uncertainty about the date of her death. Over 79% of the women in her convoy were murdered in the detention camp. At the end of the war in April 1945, the Gatet family went repeatedly to the Hotel Lutetia, where most deported French survivors arrived. Her death certificate, finally came on 19 December 1946 in Paris. It was labeled "death of France" and officially dates the death of Laura Gatet at 25 February 1943. Memory On 15 January 1946, a religious celebration in tribute to victims of the Resistance took place at the Saint-André cathedral in Bordeaux. Laure Gatet's name was mentioned in the liturgy. Major political figures attended the ceremony, but not her aunt who still lived in the city. On 8 March 1946, by the decision of General de Gaulle, Gatet was posthumously decorated with the 1939–1945 Croix de Guerre. She was then elevated to the rank of lieutenant by the War Minister, Paul Coste-Floret, on 24 May 1947. She was also named to the French Legion of Honour on 10 November 1955 by President René Coty, who also assigns her the
