general description: The archives of the CDJC include archival collections totaling more than thirty million documents, including many originals bearing the signature of the heads of the Third Reich and those responsible for the deportation of the Jews from France. The CDJC's main archive collections are: **A - German sources** *The headquarters in France, Militärbefehlshaber in Frankreich (MBF)* The MBF, or German military administration in France, was divided into two major sections: the military command and the administrative command. The archives of the military command cover collaboration between the occupation authorities and the Pétain government in general, the persecution of the Jews and the general reprisal policy. The archives of the administrative command include the documents dealing with the control of the occupation authorities over the French economy (interference, spoliations, in particular economic aryanization). The German Embassy in Paris was very actively involved in the anti-Jewish measures as can be attested by the numerous telegrams and letters sent several times per day to Berlin by Abetz and Schleier (Plenipotentiary Minister at the German embassy in Paris). *The Gestapo in occupied France* The records of the Anti-Jewish division of the Gestapo in Paris include letters, telegrams, and reports on internments, deportations and other measures taken against the Jews, such as wearing the yellow star, rescinding naturalisation and general reprisals. There are also documents showing the pressure exerted on Italy's policy in the Italian occupied zone.This group also contains documents on the Gestapo in France preserved in the German federal archives (Bundesarchiv Koblenz). These records give us a true picture of the structures and the activity of the Gestapo in France and in particular the anti-Jewish division, first directed by Dannecker then by Rothke. *The archives of the Nuremberg trials* This contains a part of the documentation collected for the investigations of…

history: Le Mémorial de la Shoah Fondation (Shoah Memorial Foundation), was opened to the public in January 2005, under the name of le Mémorial de la Shoah on the site of the former Mémorial du Martyr Juif Inconnu (Memorial to the Unknown Jewish Martyr) and Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (CDJC, Contemporary Jewish Documentation Centre). The Mémorial de la Shoah Fondation and its Documentation Centre are the continuation and heirs of the Mémorial du Martyr Juif Inconnu and the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (1943-2013). Situated at this turning point of the « century of genocides », open to the new century, the new institution is intended as a bridge between the men and women who were contemporaries of the Shoah and those who did not experience this period of history, either directly or through the mediation of their parents. Although it is a continuation of the CDJC and the Memorial to the Unknown Jewish Martyr, the Shoah Memorial also represents a new phase in the transmission of the memory and the lessons of the Shoah, which so far had been essentially borne by the direct witnesses of the extermination of Jews of Europe. The Memorial de la Shoah Fondation is a resource centre, the first and foremost collection of archives on the Shoah in Europe, but it is also a"museum of vigilanc", designed to learn, understand and experience, because now and forever it will always be necessary to build"a rampart against oblivion, against a rekindling of hatred and contempt for ma", to quote its President Eric de Rothschild.
