- Mémorial de la Shoah
- 2005
- France
25% of the Jews living in France before WWII have been deported to their death in Nazi extermination camps. Most of them had been arrested, and delivered to the German occupier, by French police men and gendarmes. The question is raised of the latter’s attitude in the field, either implementing the orders and thus contributing, probably without prior knowledge, to a crime of genocide, or disobeying and contributing to the survival of ¾ of the Jewish population in the country. The ‘Préfecture de Police’ of Paris, which was the main instrument of the round-ups, reluctantly opened its archives to historical research, and then initiated the sessions with historians and witnesses in the Memorial.
