Question 17229 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. Roger Chudeau questions the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans on the visibility and completion of the recognition of people holding the mention “Died in deportation”. Law No. 85-528 of May 15, 1985 established the term “Death in deportation” in order to officially recognize, in civil status documents, people who died in deportation due to Nazi persecution. This provision constitutes an element essential to the Nation's duty of memory towards the victims and their families. However, several associations and families are concerned about recent developments in the public “Memory of Men” database. The list previously presented under the heading “Deaths in deportation” has been integrated into a broader database devoted to “Victims of German repression”, which today makes identification less easy. immediate of only people benefiting from the mention “Death in deportation”. In its response to a recent parliamentary question, the Government indicates that a list specifically dedicated to holders of this mention will be made available following the identification work currently carried out by the National Office for Combatants and Victims of War (ONaCVG). It also specifies that 85,075 files have, to date, been regularized, while several thousand still remain to be educated. In view of the memorial importance of this individual recognition, he asks: according to what timetable the Government intends to publish an exhaustive, distinct and easily accessible list of people holding the mention “Death in deportation”; what additional human and financial resources will be mobilized in order to accelerate the processing of files remaining to be processed by the ONaCVG; finally, what measures will be taken to sustainably guarantee the readability and sustainability of this list, so that families, researchers, local authorities and memorial associations can unambiguously identify the victims recognized by the Nation.
