Béatrice is the daughter of Count Moise de Camondo and Irene Cahen d'Anvers (both from prominent banking families). She married Léon Reinach in 1918 and they are the parents of the following:
1) Fanny (1920-1943)
2) Bertrand (1923-1943)
Béatrice inherited a large fortune when her father died in 1935. She was an avid equestrian. There is a letter from Léon in the Musée Nissim de Camondo asking her to please take their son and daughter out of Nazi occupied Paris, but she felt that she was safe from the terrors of the Nazi regime, since she had converted to Catholicism (her mother had as well). She also felt that her wealth and her influential friends which she often rode in the Parc Monceau with would protect her, so she disregarded his letter.
Béatrice was taken from Paris to the Drancy Deportation Camp just outside of Paris. She was taken on transport 69 to Auschwitz Birkenau Extermination Camp. The transport departed from the Paris-Bobigny station on March 7, 1944, with a total of 1,501 deportees, according to the list prepared in the Drancy internment camp. The transport arrived in Auschwitz on March 10, 1944. A total of 110 men and 80 women were selected for slave labor, while the remainder of the deportees were gassed immediately upon arrival.
Béatrice's aunt, Elisabeth Cahen d'Anvers, also died at Auschwitz.
Please note that there is also another record for her on the The International Institute for Holocaust Research, with a later death date. That report contains a number of errors.
