The back of the photograph of the Vel d'Hiv shown on the preceding page. It is authenticated by the stamp of the German censor, on the left. The photo credit is the newspaper Paris-Midi. The text says, "Early yesterday morning foreign Jews were forced onto buses by the police. They will most likely be taken to some new location to work."

[I first identified this photo in 1990 in the Bibliothèque Historique (History Library) of the City of Paris, in the collection France-Soir (Paris-Midi). It was first published in 1941 – Les Juifs en France – Préludes à la Solution Finale, by Serge Klarsfeld; FFDJF: 1991.) Since then, it has become well known. I hope that some interior photo of the Vel d'Hiv taken between July 16 and July 20, 1942, will come to light.– S.K.]
