Abstract:
Describes the systematic character of the Vichy regime's antisemitic policy. Xenophobic measures against the Jews were introduced in the summer of 1940, which prepared the administration and the public for the subsequent antisemitic laws. The first Jewish statute (October 1940), based on biological criteria, barred Jews from public service, the press, and various professions, and was followed by internment in camps and Aryanization of property. The second statute (June 1941) added the religious criterion and initiated the census of the Jews, followed by the requirement in December 1942 to wear the identifying badge. States that the antisemitic legislation stemmed from the traditional Christian-monarchic school (e.g. Maurras) which denied equal rights to the Jews, and from the wish to confirm Vichy's sovereignty vis-à-vis the Germans. In Algeria, the Vichy laws led to the abrogation of French citizenship for the Jews and to a numerus clausus in all schools.
