Abstract:
Traces the deterioration of the situation of Jewish students at the Polytechnic University of Paris under the Vichy government. In 1940, the school moved to the Free Zone, and returned to Paris only in 1943. Outlines legislation aimed at the exclusion of Jews from positions of responsibility and relegating the students to inferior status, thereby denying them basic rights and tuition subsidies. A numerus clausus was declared in 1941, and by 1943 Jews could only study by correspondence. These measures were maintained throughout the war with the support of the student body, which had become increasingly pro-Pétain. Concludes with the return in 1945 of those who had escaped deportation, and their subsequent reintegration into the university with equal status.
