An exceptional discovery for History
Mémorial de la Shoah, September 2020. Two collectors present themselves to the photothèque service with five photographic contact sheets glued onto large cardboard sheets. Among these photographs, only seven are already known to specialists on the subject and have been published. They are marked with a cross on the original sheets. The others are unpublished. This is the complete reportage. An exceptional set of 98 images comes to light, 80 years after the events. This reportage documents the first massive arrest of Jews in France, the raid of May 14, 1941 known as the “green ticket,” ordered by the Occupant and organized by the French authorities.
Today, an exhibition and a book invite the public to take part in the investigation that identified the photographer, Harry Croner, and to understand his “gaze” on these tragic events, a gaze on which German censorship struck, condemning these historical photographs to more than 80 years of oblivion.
