2. A quick summary.................. On January 30 th, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. This meant the Nazis began to own Germany. At this point Jews were living in every country of Europe. A total of roughly nine million Jews lived in the countries that would be occupied by Germany during World War II. By the end of the war, two out of every three of these Jews would be dead, and European Jewish life would be changed forever...

3. Drancy Between 1942 and July 1944, nearly 76,000 Jews were deported to concentration camps from France, of which only 2,500 survived. Drancy, outside of Paris, was the main camp for Jews being deported to the Nazi German death camps in Poland and Eastern Europe. It was designed to hold 700 people, but at it’s peak (in 1940) it held more than 7000. However, the majority of Jews deported from France and killed during the Holocaust were non-French Jews.

4. 1942 Approximately 49 concentration camps were in use in France during the occupation, the largest of them at Drancy. In the occupied zone, as of 1942, Jews were required to wear the yellow badge. On the Paris metro (a type of transport) Jews were only allowed to ride in the last carriage. This is discrimination. 13,152 Jews residing in the Paris region were victims of a mass arrest by pro Nazi French authorities on 16 and 17 July 1942, known as the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup, and transported to Auschwitz where they were killed.

5. The Yellow Star In 1942, on the advice of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler ordered all Jews in Paris to wear an identifying yellow star on the left side of their coats. Joseph Goebbels said "They are no longer people but beasts," and "The Jews... are now being evacuated eastward. The procedure is pretty barbaric and is not to be described here more definitely. Not much will remain of the Jews." But Goebbels was not the first to suggest this particular form of isolation. "The yellow star may make some Catholics shudder," wrote a French newspaper at the time. "It renews the most strictly Catholic tradition."Jews were then forced into ghettoes and forced to wear either yellow hats or yellow stars.

6. Millions of Jews died- Millions of innocent people – Millions of children – dead. For example...

7. This is what the last picture translates to in English Arrested by the police of the Vichy government, complicit in the Nazi occupier, over 11,000 children were deported to France from 1942 to 1944 and murdered in Auschwitz because they were born Jewish. Over 500 children lived in the 4th district, among them the students of this school... Do we forget?

8. Here are some statues of innocent babies/children/mothers/fathers that were murdered in the Holocaust by the Nazis because they were born Jewish...

15. Conclusion – What did happen to Jews in Paris? Though the Nazis did not achieve their goal, they managed to kill millions of Jews – many of them in Paris. Most Jews in Paris were killed and all Jews were made to wear the yellow badge/hat. All of the Jews were discriminated and segregated e.g. They could not go to school if a German was in it, and all Jews needed to ride on the last carriage on the Paris metro.
