Its community swelled from the late 19th century with immigrants from Eastern Europe and, later, North Africa, concentrated in quarters such as the Marais (the "Pletzl"). Under German occupation and the Vichy regime, Paris Jews suffered mass arrests — notably the 1942 Vél' d'Hiv roundup — and deportation to Auschwitz; the postwar community rebuilt and is today the largest in Europe. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — History of the Jews in France; Jewish Virtual Library — Paris.</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Fanny Schneid (b.1883)]] | Born 5 August 1883, Died 25 July 1945 | | [[Samuel Schneid (b.1886)]] | Born 18 August 1886 | | [[Joseph Léon Schneid (b.1885)]] | Died 05/07/1887 | | [[Berthe Schneid (b.1888)]] | Born 30 June 1888, Died 26 April 1897 | | [[Raphaël Schneid (b.1889)]] | Born 25 December 1889, Died 29 January 1966 | | [[Jeanne Chermann (b.1908)]] | Born 1908 | | [[Basche Felix (b.1850)]] | Died 05/13/1908 | | [[Maria Naparstek (b.1914)]] | Born 01/14/1914, Died 04/18/1980 | | [[Blanche Gelbart (b.1914)]] | Born 02/15/1914 | | [[Suzanne Marthe Renée Cellier (b.1921)]] | Born 10/01/1921 | | [[Esther Stella Rott (b.1922)]] | Born 03/28/1922 | | [[Schepsel Schneid (b.1846)]] | Died 11 September 1923 | | [[David Szlos (b.1924)]] | Born 10/24/1924, Died 07/19/2022 | | [[Edith Anna Gambourg (b.1926)]] | Born 06/21/1926 | | [[Shmuel Wolf Gerchinovitz (b.1927)]] | Born 02/24/1927 | | [[Lisette Laia Cwajgenhaft (b.1928)]] | Born 11/15/1928, Died 11/05/2005 | | [[Thérèse Barbanel (b.1929)]] | Born 08/01/1929 | | [[Daniel Lazare Frenk (b.1929)]] | Born 10/04/1929 | | [[Léon Edelsztejn (b.1931)]] | Born 12/09/1931 | | [[Adolphe Albert Barbanel (b.1933)]] | Born 09/08/1933 | | [[Anna Frenk (b.1933)]] | Born 10/01/1933 | | [[Michel Louis Dubois (b.1936)]] | Born 01/04/1936 | | [[Moïse Marcus Schneid (b.1869)]] | Died 14 November 1949 | | [[Elke Schneid (b.1879)]] | Died 20 November 1953 | | [[Brigitte Sainlauf (b.1959)]] | Born 10/13/1959, Died 07/19/2018 | | [[Jochweta Frajda Barbanel (b.1890)]] | Died 07/04/1973 | | [[Rose Gersztenblit (b.1880)]] | Died ~1975 | | [[Anna Fouks (b.1887)]] | Died 05/15/1976 | | [[Ezra Frenk (b.1906)]] | Died 12/29/1984 | | [[Efraim Fishel Basch (b.1921)]] | Died 1985 | | [[Joël Prasquier (born Praszkier) (b.1921)]] | Died 05/03/1986 | | [[Samuel Barbanel (b.1911)]] | Died 10/30/1990 | | [[Jonas Basch (b.1914)]] | Died 10/20/1999 | | [[Miriam Bloom (b.1929)]] | Died 01/15/2013 | | [[Salamon David Balter (b.1919)]] | Died 03/09/2013 | | [[Debora Zylberberg (b.1920)]] | Died 05/24/2015 | | [[Gisele Siovici (b.1925)]] | Died 08/06/2015 | | [[Izak Wajzer (b.1918)]] | Died 10/29/2015 |
