Holocaust remembrance: Newly discovered photos illustrate previously-unknown roundup of French Jews

Article excerpt

Ninety-eight newly discovered photographs document a Nazi roundup of foreign Jews in Paris on May 14, 1941, one of the most significant visual discoveries in Holocaust history in recent years. Dr. Jean-Marc Dreyfus, a historian at the University of Manchester and curator at the Shoah Memorial in Paris, is featured discussing the find on France 24. The images, previously unknown to scholars, provide rare visual evidence of the systematic arrests that preceded the deportations. The photographs are being exhibited as part of the memorial's efforts to preserve and contextualize Holocaust documentation.
