CURATOR’S CORNER

On Bastille Day, when France celebrates the Revolution of 1789, HMTC brought attention to the actions of German officials and French police on July 16 and 17, 1942, who rounded up more than 13,000 Jews in France, detaining them in an indoor cycling track in Paris and then deporting them to concentration camps and killing centers. HMTC’s Museum and Programming Director, Thorin Tritter, discussed this and other examples of French collaboration with Nazi Germany.
