Visite guidée de l'exposition Images de la rafle du « billet vert »

This guided tour of the Mémorial de la Shoah's latest exhibition offers a rare look at the complete photographic reportage of the first mass arrest of Jews in France, the May 14, 1941 roundup known as the 'billet vert.' The 98 images, most unpublished for over 80 years, were rediscovered in 2020 when two collectors brought contact sheets to the memorial's photo library.

Visitors will follow the investigation that identified the photographer, Harry Croner, and explore how German censorship buried these historical images. The tour provides context on the roundup ordered by the Occupant and carried out by French authorities, making it a compelling experience for those interested in World War II history and visual documentation of tragedy.
