After the French defeat and the creation of the Vichy regime in the occupied zone, Pe'tain's government first repealed legislation banning incitement to racial or religious hatred, then on 3 Oct


1940 passed its first fomal measure against the Jews, whom it defined as people with three or four Jewish grandparents, or two if they were married to a Jew. These measures had validity for the whole of France, including the occupied zone; in addition, when the German authorities in the occupied zone took steps against the Jews, the Vichy regime frequently followed suite under the pretext of preserving the administration unity of France.


On 4 October 1940 another law created special interment camps for all foreign Jews in the Vichy zone, 40,000 Jews were interned in them by the end of 1940. For the moment they remained relatively unaffected. But this would not last. As early as August 1940 the German Embassy in Paris had begun urging the military authorities to remove all Jews from the occupied area. Action soon followed. In the occupied zone of France, the German Ambassador, Otto Abetz, urged immediate measures against the Jews. With Hitler's explicit approval, Jewish immigration to the occupied zone was banned, and preparations were made for the expulsion of all Jews who were still there.


On 27 September 1940, with the agreement of the army Commander-in-Chief von Brauchitsch, Jews who had fled to the unoccupied zone were banned from returning, and all Jewish persons and property were to be registered in preparation for expulsion and expropriation.


From 21 October 1940 all Jewish shops had to be marked as such. By this time the registration of around 150,000 Jews in the occupied zone was essentially complete. Also at this time the SS began taking a active role being responsible on the issue of 'The Jewish Question';.


The Vichy regime also began carrying out Aryanization measures, by early 1942 some 140,000 Jews had been officially registered, enabling the authorities to pick them up when ever they wanted to.


I'm trying to keep this as short as I can, all up, the French situation for the Jews was a disaster.


On 15 July 1942 the arrest of stateless Jews began. French police used previously compiled files to identify and begin the round-up of 27,000 Jewish refugees in the Paris region. The scale of the action was so large that it could scarcely remain a secret even in the planning stage, and many Jews went undergraound. Just over 13,000 had been arrested by 17 July 1942. After sending all the unmarried peoples or childless couples to the collection camp at Drancy, the police penned up the remaining 8,160 men, women and children in the bicycle-racing stadium known as the Vel d'Hiv.


For three to six days they stayed there without water toilets or bedding, in tempertures of 37 degrees Celsius or above subsisting only on one or two bowls of soup per day.


Together with another 7,100 Jews from the Vichy zone , they were eventually sent via further collection centers to Auschwitz. Altogether about 42,500 were sent there by December 1942, among them was a transport sent on 24 th of August (1942) mainly of sick children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and 17 who had been kept in a hospital whilst their parents were sent to their deaths in previous transports. All 553 of them were immediately put to death on arrival at Auschwitz in the gas chamber.Can someone tell me what happened in France during the Germany control of it in World War 2?
The conquered French were treated as equals by the Germans except those in the resistance. When France fell, its government went into exile in Great Britain and continued to rally support over the radio to the resistance. Some government officials still in France actually changed sides to the Axis powers. In doing so, they were given control of Southern France and her colonies and fought the allies until Frances liberation in 1944.
Germans treated the French as their own, except the ones in the resistance.


If they were caught helping jews then they were punished like a jew.


Most French people were right along with the Germans in the prosecution of jewish people.
They planted a lot of trees along the Champs Elysee, so the german troops could march in the shade.
