The roundups of summer 1942 in Western Europe

From planning to implementation: actors facing the choice of collaboration

In the summer of 1942, the large roundups in France, the Netherlands and Belgium marked the beginning of the "Final Solution" in Western Europe: within a few months, 100,000 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 actual organization of arrests, and mobilizing a complex network of actors belonging to various administrations.

If this conference intends to approach, from a comparative perspective, these operations which are most often perceived under a national prism, its objective is also to provide a scientific answer to the falsifications of history on the Vichy policy towards the Jews, currently in vogue in 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.
