Archival History

Archives départementales du Jura

Acquisition

The Archives of the Department of the Jura is the owner and holder of originals. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from the Mémorial de la Shoah, who paid for the costs of reproduction, via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s International Archives Project in November 2009.

Scope and Content

Contains documents from the Jura, a mountainous, sparsely-populated region on the eastern border of France, once part of the Franche-Comté. The documents concern the anti-Jewish laws put into effect, certain Jews who held government jobs and were given special permission to keep them, the cancellation of Vichy laws allowing lawful pillaging of Jewish property under “Aryanization”, letters that singled out Jews in hiding to the authorities, documents dealing with foreigners who had been given exile in 1939, arrests of Jews by German authorities, and post-war Zionist youth camps.
