Over the course of two days in July of 1942, French authorities rounded up some 13,000 Jews in what is known as the “Vél d'Hiv roundup," taking them to the Drancy internment camp and the Vélodrome d'Hiver, an indoor bicycle racing track and stadium in Paris.
The 7,000 detainees packed away in the Vélodrome d'Hiver were not given food, water or access to sanitary facilities, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. But a worse fate awaited the prisoners: they were soon deported to Auschwitz. Several French presidents have acknowledged the state’s complicity in the Vélodrome d'Hiver—known colloquially as “Vel d’Hiv”—roundups, which were carried out in collaboration with the Nazis during WWII. On Sunday, Le Pen suggested that country’s wartime Vichy government, a Nazi puppet state established in the unoccupied zone of southern France, was to blame for the atrocity. Le Pen now faces bruising criticism from political opponents and advocates. Operating ball turret in the Collings B-24J at Bomber Camp.

Soon caught and bundled back to France, where his attempted escape had invalidated his appeal, he started serving his sentence in October 1999.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2002 that the French law on appeals had violated his civil rights, but he stayed in the Santé Prison in Paris until that September, when a French court agreed with a new appeal that heart trouble and advanced age should spare him further jail time. “I have no objection to putting Vichy on trial,” he had said before facing charges. “I just don’t want the trial to take place on my back.” Vichy did go on trial with him, and the verdict seemed to confirm, as President Jacques Chirac had first acknowledged in 1995, that France bore criminal responsibility for what officials like Mr. Papon had done in collaborating with the Germans. “Obviously,” observed Michel Slitinsky, a Holocaust survivor who hunted down some of the documentation of Mr. Tall and self-assured, Mr. Gmail - Free Storage and Email from Google.
