Identity card of the Jewish woman Fanny Barel from Paris, marked with the word “JUIVE” in red – Nazi-occupied France. June 10, 1941. This document was intended to be presented for inspection when traveling by train. Rare.
In October 1940, France enacted the Statut des Juifs (“Status of the Jews”), a law that defined who was considered Jewish and imposed restrictions on Jews in various areas, including employment and education. Subsequently, Jews were required to mark their identity cards, often by stamping or writing the word “JUIF/JUIVE”. This marking was intended to facilitate the identification of Jews by Nazi and French authorities, enabling their exclusion from social and economic life and ultimately leading to their deportation to concentration and extermination camps. This designation significantly aided in the arrest and deportation of tens of thousands of Jews from France to extermination camps, particularly in transports from the Drancy transit camp.
