The summer roundups of 1942 in Western Europe
From planning to implementation: actors facing the choice of collaboration
In the summer of 1942, large-scale roundups began in France, the Netherlands and Belgium, marking the beginning of the "Final Solution" in Western Europe: within a few months, one hundred thousand Jews were arrested and deported from the territories of these three countries.
The planning from Berlin and the implementation of field operations constitute a vast set of interactions between the occupier and the local authorities, ranging from political negotiations to the practical organization of arrests, and mobilizing a complex network of actors belonging to various administrations.
If this conference intends to address, from a comparative perspective, these operations which are most often perceived under a national prism, its objective is also to provide a scientific response to the falsifications of history on Vichy’s policy towards the Jews, currently in vogue in the public debate.
Scientific coordination: Tal Bruttmann, historian, and Julie Maeck, historian, responsible for the programming of the auditorium.
Logistics coordination: Maïalen Despiau-Couret, intern at the auditorium.
