Visite en langue des signes française de l'exposition Images de la rafle du « billet vert »

Mémorial de la Shoah

The Mémorial's guide is accompanied by a French Sign Language (LSF) interpreter. Duration: 1 h 30. An exceptional discovery for History Mémorial de la Shoah, September 2020. Two collectors present themselves at the photo library department with five photographic contact sheets mounted on large cardboard sheets. Among these photographs, only seven are already known to specialists on the subject and have been published. They are marked with a cross on the original sheets. The others are previously unseen. This is the complete report. An exceptional set of 98 images comes back to light, 80 years after the events. This report documents the first mass arrest of Jews in France, the round-up of May 14, 1941 known as the "billet vert" (green ticket), ordered by the Occupier and organized by the French authorities. Today, an exhibition and a book invite the public to take part in the investigation that made it possible to discover the identity of the photographer, Harry Croner, and to understand his "gaze" on these tragic events, a gaze on which German censorship came down hard, condemning these historical photographs to over 80 years of oblivion.
