Question 44779 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Ms. Bénédicte Peyrol draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for memory and veterans, to the request from the National Office for Veterans and War Victims (ONAC-VG) for the publication of a list of “deportation deaths”. On August 31, 2021, the Minister kindly informed him of the recognition by the ONACVG of 84,281 deaths in deportation. On December 9, 2021, Mrs. Minister mentioned the opening of a consultation website. Unfortunately, it is consulted name by name, assuming to know it beforehand. On December 2, 2021, the Ministry of the Armed Forces opened a private website for consulting the specific list of deaths in deportation based solely on ONAC ministerial decrees; but it is not official, it is missing 3,000 names and is not updated. Therefore, the online posting of the complete list of this list of 84,281 seems to go in the direction of the meditation of the President of the Republic on December 9, 2021 in Vichy in front of the stele commemorating the deportation of 6,500 Jews in August 1942, then, at the city opera, in front of the plaque recalling the memory of the 80 parliamentarians who had not voted full powers to Marshal Pétain. On this occasion, the President of the Republic recalled that “Vichy us refers to a History. We have lived this History, it is written by historians. Let us be careful not to manipulate it, to agitate it, to see it again.” Indeed, Vichy stood out in the fall of 1940 with a wave of mass expulsions even before the main anti-Semitic laws; Marshal Pétain decided to “purify the city of Vichy” and 95% of the 3,500 foreigners expelled between August and October were Jewish. This development particular to the city continues: the reduction in the number of the Jewish population is much greater than in comparable cities; in 1941, of the 2,050 Jews who were registered in Vichy, 88% were French. Their situation continued to get worse: 144 Jews residing in Vichy were deported, 123 of them were French and 13 pre-war Vichy residents. To this end, the publication of the list of 84,281 deaths in deportation would avoid manipulation, agitation, revision. She wants to know his position on the subject.
