Abstract:
The number of Jewish students at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris declined from eight in 1940 to three in 1942; the graduation exam and accreditation was denied to all Jews from February 1941; in June 1941 the numerus clausus was imposed (Jews could comprise 3% of all students); in March 1943, a recommendation by the CGQJ was necessary for enrollment. States that the school authorities (especially the director Jérôme Carcopino, who was also Vichy's Education Minister between 1941-42, and his deputy Georges Bruhat) defended and supported (out of "esprit de corps") the few Jewish students already enrolled, but that they shared Vichy's antisemitic ideology and made sure that no new Jewish students were able to enroll. Carcopino himself introduced the numerus clausus law, and the new registration restrictions. also refers to the school's Jewish students' participation in the resistance movement.
