Guided visit on the policies of spoliation and "economic Aryanisation" during the Occupation (1940-1944).
During the Occupation (1940-1944), the Vichy regime and the Nazis carried out state policies of plunder, spoliation of the property of Jewish people, and "Aryanisation" of the economy.
Walking through the Bourse, Sentier and then Faubourg Saint-Martin districts, this guided visit revisits this history through the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France looted by the Nazis, and also a forced labour camp in the heart of Paris. We will also stop at addresses that appear in investigators' reports or denunciation letters, to sketch a micro-history of victims of antisemitic measures and of the Shoah.
This guided visit is part of a "Histoire juive" cycle offered by Clément, which also includes a route on Jewish lives in Belleville since the 1920s.
