An exceptional discovery for History
Mémorial de la Shoah, September 2020. Two collectors approached the photo library department with five photographic contact sheets mounted on large card sheets. Among these photographs, only seven are already known to specialists on the subject and have been published. They are marked with a cross on the original sheets. The others are unpublished. This is the complete report. An exceptional set of 98 images comes to light, 80 years after the events. This report documents the first mass arrest of Jews in France, the round-up of 14 May 1941 known as the "billet vert" round-up, ordered by the Occupier and organised by the French authorities.
