Abstract:
Traces the "fichier juif affair", the debate over the list of the census taken of the Jewish community of Paris which was ordered by the French police from 1940 until 1944. The affair developed into a controversy following the list's discovery by Serge Klarsfeld in 1991, and the appointment of the Rémond Commission in 1992 to protest its transfer to the Memorial of the Unknown Jewish Martyr rather than its preservation in the National Archives. Grand, one of the archivists, details the events of 1991-93 and examines the arguments contesting the authenticity of the list, which was thought to have been destroyed during the war. Criticizes the final report of the Rémond Commission, published in 1996. Rejects the argument that the original list was destroyed and opposes the distinction in the report between an "individual" and "family" list. See the response by Jean-Pierre Azéma [Ibid. 169 (2000) 249-256], one of the editors of the final report of the Rémond Commission, refuting Grand's hypothesis that the extant "individual" list is part of the original one, because there are fragments dated after 1940, the publication date of the lost list. Outlines his proposed categories of lists: 1) the original census of 1940, destroyed in 1948; 2) the list of Jews who were arrested within and outside Paris; 3) the list of police raids where at least one Jewish family member was arrested; 4) the list of deportations, especially from Drancy.
