Vel d'Hiv Remembrance Amid Rising Anti-Semitism | Perth News
Description
France marks the somber anniversary of the Vel dHiv roundup — when thousands of Jews were arrested and deported by French police in 1942 — as anti-Semitism surges across Europe, especially in the wake of October 7, 2023, and the Gaza conflict. With the largest Jewish population in Europe, France faces rising threats, vandalism, and attacks. The roundup, involving 13,000 people — including a third children — was held at the Winter Velodrome before deportation. Just before the ceremony, a plaque honoring rescuers was vandalized, prompting officials to vow relentless resistance against hate. France only officially acknowledged its role in the atrocity in 1995, making today’s remembrance all the more vital.
