| What the ceremony commemorated was the Velodrome d'Hiver roundup in July 1942, when 8,000 French Jews were arrested over two days and detained at a sports stadium in Drancy. Many French citizens still claim, for instance, that rounded-up Jews were sent "only" to Drancy, a way-station camp near Paris, and that the transport in Nazi cattle-cars to Auschwitz was a "German" affair. Among the thousand Jews and Christians present at Drancy for the French Declaration of Repentance was Jean-Marie Lustiger. |
