After the war, the crimes committed by the French against the Jews became a taboo which slowly transformed over the years into what is today considered to be an obsession with the topic. These events are best demonstrated through the 1942 Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup in which Parisian authorities gathered over 13,000 Jews, detaining over half of them in the Vélodrome d’Hiver, an indoor cycling arena in Paris, for almost a week without food, water, or sanitation.

  • Fugate 1 Brittany Fugate Dr. Thomas Kaiser Modern
    Fugate 1 Brittany Fugate Dr. Thomas Kaiser Modern France April 25, 2018 The CGQJ: The French Equivalent of the German SS After France’s failure to protect themselves from the Germans, a governmental institution known as the Vichy Regime came into power. The Nazis used this Regime in collaboration with the French to implement the Final Solution. Under the Regime, many organizations were founded to ensure that the Final Solution was carried out effectively. One of these institutions was the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives, General Commissioner for Jewish Affairs in English, and abbreviated CGQJ. The CGQJ’s mission was to implement anti-Semitic legislation and facilitate collaboration amongst the other legislative departments. It quickly became one of the most influential organizations established under the Vichy Regime due to a law passed in 1941 that excluded the Jewish people from many professions. In “Verdict of Vichy: Power and Prejudice in the Vichy France Regime,” Michael Curtis stated the law allowed them to “intervene in the activity of every ministry, including the police, when it was pertinent” (Curtis 115). Curtis described the CGQI as a “fundamental governmental implementer and deviser of political anti-Semitism” (Curtis 129). The attitude of indifference and collaboration throughout the war allowed the Vichyite efforts to run successfully until the end of the war. The CGQJ had an abundance of anti-Semitic collaborators at their disposal to expand their power and ensure the Final Solution was implemented throughout France. The efforts of the Vichy Regime have been analyzed as a continuation of the Third Republic. This is because the policies under the Regime were already in law but were only being Fugate 2 enforced by the Vichyites.

The men in the new regime immediately began to make social and political changes which, in their mind, were long overdue. They believed that they could negotiate with the occupation officials in the North and maintain France‟s sovereignty, at least in the “free” Southern zone. They also believed, as did a large part of the French people, that the inadequacies of the republican system had lost France the war.

  • The Shoah Memorial: a History Retraced from the Drancy Site
    International Review of the Red Cross (2019), 101 (1), 295–315. Memory and war doi:10.1017/S1816383119000432 IN FOLIO The Shoah Memorial: A history retraced from the Drancy site Annaı¨g Lefeuvre* Annaı¨g Lefeuvre is an anthropologist and a member of LabEx Pasts in the Present and the project “Dark Tourism in Comparative Perspective: Sites of Suffering, Sites of Memory”. Abstract Between the inauguration of the Tomb of the Unknown Jewish Martyr in 1956 in Paris and the opening of the Shoah Memorial in Drancy in 2012, the narration of the Shoah in France has evolved through the use of archives, discussions, commemorations and exhibitions. In the immediate post-war period, a small group of people worked on the construction of a dedicated place to document the genocide of Jews in Europe in order to ensure that the memory of the Shoah would be impregnated into the collective consciousness. This project, which later evolved into the Paris and Drancy Shoah Memorials, could be seen as an expression of what remembrance is in France today. Keywords: Shoah Memorial, Holocaust Museum, Jews of France, Drancy camp, sites of memory, memorialization. Introduction The Paris Shoah Memorial and its extension in Drancy were born from the Contemporary Jewish Documentation Centre1 (Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine, CDJC) and were made possible by the Foundation for the * The author was an Education Coordinator at the Drancy Shoah Memorial at the time of writing this article.

  • Historical Background: the Holocaust in Bulgaria Y Vital to Understanding the Story of Stars Is Its Historical Context
    Stars_PDF_Novels_Layout 1 18.02.11 16:31 Seite 1 Historical Background: the Holocaust in Bulgaria y Vital to understanding the story of Stars is its historical context. On the eve of the Second World War, the r a r b i Bulgarian government included many with pro-German leanings. On March 1, 1941, Bulgaria signed the L m l Tripartite Pact, primarily for military and territorial reasons, and became an Axis Power allied with Nazi i F A Germany. F E D e h This alliance inevitably brought pressure to bear on the Jewish population. Later in 1941, the Law for the t y b Protection of the Nation was passed, which introduced numerous legal restrictions on Jews in Bulgaria. e s a A strong public outcry from different sectors of Bulgarian society, however, ultimately succeeded in e l e R cancelling the deportation of Jews living in Bulgaria proper, scheduled to take place in the spring of 1943. D V D It was a stunning achievement that saved nearly 50,000 people. A • s After signing the Tripartite Pact, Bulgaria had participated in German-led attacks on Yugoslavia and Greece r a t S and had been given administrative control over the territories of Thrace (Greece) and Macedonia • a i (Yugoslavia) by the Germans. The Jews from these territories were rounded up and deported in March 1943. r a g l In total, 11,343 people—all the Jews in Thrace and Macedonia—were brought to transit camps, u B n i then transferred to German control and deported to Auschwitz, Treblinka and other extermination camps.

Paxton Columbia University Nazi policy toward the Jews of occupied western Europe evolved in three phases, determined by far-flung strategic concerns of the Third Reich.' In the first, from the outbreak of war in the west in April 1940 until the autumn of 1941, all was provisional: Nazi leaders looked forward to a "final solution of the Jewish question in Europe," but that final solution was to await the cessation of hostilities and an ultimate peace settlement.

Paris: CNRS Éditions, 2017. 277 pp. List of abbreviations, end notes, select bibliography, list of authors, index, and table of contents. €25 (pb). ISBN 978-2-271-08945-8. Review by Thomas J. Laub, Delta State University Based on papers presented at a 2012 conference, Patrice Arnaud and Fabien Théofilakis have assembled a broad, provocative analysis of SS police forces in Belgium, France, and Greece during the Second World War. Contributions by editors and nine scholars analyze the personnel, behavior, and goals of SS police forces in a comparative study designed to identify common trends and explain unique features of police regimes across Western Europe. Building on research pioneered by Hans Mommsen, Gerhard Paul and Klaus-Michael Mallmann [1], contributors highlight manpower shortages that forced SS police forces to rely on local collaborators to maintain order, suppress resistance activity, and pursue the racial goals of the Nazi regime. Undermanned and loosely supervised by superiors in Athens, Brussels, Paris, and Berlin, members of the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei or secret state police), Kripo (Kriminalpolizei or criminal police), SD (Sicherheitsdienst or SS security service), and Sipo (Sicherheitspolizei or security police) employed a range of methods to recruit local collaborators and cooperate with neighboring German agencies such as the German army, Fritz Sauckel's labor organization, and the GFP (Geheime Feldpolizei or secret military police). Police forces pursued different goals in, for example, the Ardennes, Lorraine, Antwerp, and Liège, but authors attribute regional variations to geography, Nazi racial ideology, the need to recruit local collaborators, and the incidence of resistance activity.
