Abstract:
A historical survey, presenting data about Jews who emigrated to France from other European countries, the number of Jews deported from France, and the number of survivors. In 1940, the French began registering the Jews, which facilitated their deportation later. In May 1941, 3,710 Jews of Polish origin were deported from Paris to camps in the Loiret. The camps in Nazi-occupied France were similar to those in the unoccupied zone. Between August-December 1941, ca. 2,000 Jews were deported to Drancy. In March 1942, 565 Jews were deported to Auschwitz, the first group from the unoccupied zone. At the same time, 38,206 were deported from Drancy to Auschwitz. Until 1944, ca. 30,000 more were deported from the vicinity of Paris. In August 1943, Pétain stopped the deportations from the south for a while, after the deportation of 14,833 Jews from the transit camps. The losses of French Jewry in the Holocaust were ca. 25% of a population of ca. 300,000, of which more than 50,000 were foreign Jews.
