France declared responsible for deporting Jews

Posted on 18. Feb, 2009 by Shera Crossan in Israel & Jewish Issues, Shera Crossan

PARIS – France’s top judicial body on Monday recognized the French government’s responsibility for the deportation of Jews during World War II, the clearest such recognition of the state’s role in the Holocaust.

The Council of State found that the government of Nazi-occupied France at the time held the “responsibility” for deportations that led to anti-Semitic persecution.

The decision released Monday also found that the deportation had been “compensated for” since 1945, apparently ruling out any reparations for deportees or their families.

A Paris court had sought the Council of State’s opinion on a request by the daughter of a deportee who died at Auschwitz for reparations from the French state. She was also asking for material and moral damages for her own personal suffering during and after the occupation.

The council left it up to the Paris court to rule on her request.  AP News Source

    Hmmmmm, I thought the Jews were executed in death camps and the idea was to exterminate all Jews in Europe, isn’t that the standard holohoax story? If that’s the case, it doesn’t make any sense to deport them because if they are deported, they don’t get gassed to death. So which was it? Mass murder or mass deportations? It can’t be both

    It’s been over 60 years and they still can’t get the damn story straight.

    With the jews running out of “wanted nazi’s” for war crimes, they are starting the shift on the blame game. After they cut the balls off the french, who will they go after next? Russia? England? USA? According to the jews all three governments knew about what was going on as early as early 1942. So its clearly the fault of everyone else in the world and in no way the fault of the jews. Poor little jews. Not enough sympathy for them so they change tactics and start again.

    I thought France just declared Israel received enough reparations?

    Damn them, always an easy way to get money from people.
