This exhibition presents the complete photographic record of the “Green Ticket” roundup of 14 May 1941, the first mass arrest of Jewish people in France. Rediscovered in 2020 on five contact sheets, the collection comprises 98 photographs, most previously unpublished. An investigation by the Mémorial de la Shoah identified the photographer as Harry Croner and examined how German censorship caused these historically important images to remain forgotten for more than 80 years. Scientific curators: Lior Lalieu and Jean-Marc Dreyfus.
