HOLOCAUST : Vél d'hiv Roundup - The Last Witnesses 

Sunday July 10th at 9.10 pm* 

*Paris Time 

On the 16th and 17th of July 1942, 12, 884 Jews were arrested in Paris and its suburbs by the police, following an agreement between the Nazi regime and the Vichy government. Men, women and children were sent to the Drancy internment camp, in the north-east of Paris, and the Vélodrome d'Hiver sports centre, in the 15th arrondissement.
 
A name now given to a dark episode in French history: the Vél d'Hiv Roundup. 80 years later, France 24 looks back at this dramatic episode of the Holocaust in France in a report and a web documentary (available from July 8th on digital platforms).
Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard met with six survivors of the roundup. These women and men tell the story of this terrible day and those that followed.

France 24’s journalists, Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard also directed, in 2017 an award documentary "Si je reviens un jour, les lettres retrouvées de Louise Pikovsky". Their new project has been broadcasted in preview on a projection organised last June 30th at the Musée de la Libération de Paris with some of the witnesses.
