The Shoah (the Holocaust) is the extermination of about 6 million Jews of Europe by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. In France, the Vichy regime collaborated, for example in the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup (rafle du Vél’ d’Hiv) in 1942. In 1995, France recognised the responsibility of the State in the deportation of the Jews.
