In his capacity as Commander of the S.D.-Security
Police of the Paris district, Lischka gave the orders for the big Vel d'Hiv
round-up on July 16-17. On July 18, he signed a report to the military
authorities on the results of that extraordinary operation:
A total of 12,884 persons were arrested
– 3,031 men, 5,802 women, 4,051 children.
Six thousand single men and
women, without children, must be shipped to Drancy immediately. Two weeks from
now they will be transferred from there o trains containing 1,000 persons each
for forced labor in the Reich. The remainder of the arrested Jews, especially
women and children, will be kept in the Velodrome d'Hiver. That group will be
transferred within a few days to the Jewish concentration camps in Pithiviers
and Beaune-la-Rolande.
All those Jews were deported and
slaughtered in Auschwitz.
On February 9, 1943, Lischka decreed: "All
Jews in Rouen and Amiens must be arrested at once and shipped to the East."
On July 16, 1943, Lischka ordered another large scale round-up:
To the Chief of Police, Paris
Concerning police procedures to be applied to Jews who have remained
stateless now that the law has been published, I have ordered for the
Department of Seine, for July 23 and 24, the following:
The operations
should proceed in the following sequence:
1. Index cards for Jews of French
nationality are, in due time, to be filed in the police headquarters of each
ward according to the residence of the Jews.
2. Two thousand policemen are
to be detached and divided in proportion to the number of Jews in each ward,
and are to be put at the disposal of the police superintendents beginning at 4
A.M., on July 23 and 24.
3. The superintendents are to have the policemen
bring to headquarters heads of families or single persons who are to show at
once all papers concerning their nationality.
4. The superintendents will
thereupon examine in the presence of each Jew in question his identity papers.
Should there be no doubt that he was naturalized after August 10, 1927, he is
to be put under arrest. Members of his family similarly subject to the law are
also to be arrested.
5. Arrested Jews are to be taken to a depot in each
ward, from which they are to be shipped to the concentration camp at Drancy as
soon as possible.
