Just days ago, Macron was
condemning “Israeli colonialism,”
so this can’t be taken as any reliable indication that he has come
around and is going to be fighting for freedom, but it is a good sign,
and is long overdue. France has a terrible history of betraying its
Jews.
In June 1942, 12,000 Jewish adults and children were
removed from their homes in Paris and sent to Nazi death camps. It was
the largest mass arrest in wartime France.
The Vél d’Hiv roundup began in the early hours of 16 July 1942 and,
over the next two days, 12,884 Jews from the Paris region, including
over 4,000 children, were taken into custody. It was biggest such mass
arrest in France during the second world war. Of these, 7,000 victims
were packed into the Vélodrome d’Hiver, an indoor sports stadium. In
increasingly desperate conditions they awaited shipment to the death
camps in eastern Europe.
They were held at the Vélodrome d’Hiver in extremely crowded
conditions, almost without water, food and sanitary facilities, as well
as at the Drancy, Pithiviers, and Beaune-la-Rolande internment camps,
then shipped by railway transports to Auschwitz for extermination
What made the event so especially shocking was not just
the number of children involved, but that the operation was planned and
executed by French police and civil servants. After the war, the Vél
d’Hiv roundup would become a symbol of French guilt and complicity in
the Holocaust.(here.)
