Scope and Content
Consists of records relating to the operations of the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives. On 29 March 1941, the Vichy Government of France formed the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives (CGQJ). The CGQJ was responsible for defining Jewish status, inventorying Jewish persons and their possessions, excluding Jewish persons from the French economy, and ultimately, interning Jewish persons to facilitate the implementation of the "Final Solution." The collection contains a variety of documents encapsulating the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives' operations in Toulouse, Marseille, North Africa, and other areas. For a description of the CGQJ, see the catalog record for RG-43.023. This material does not duplicate the collection the USHMM copied at the Archives nationales de France.
