The French regime during WWII thought that it couldnegotiatethe return of French prisoners in Germany, by entering 'collaborationism' with the Nazi regime. Part of the collaboration deal was that France had to turn in Jews living in France. The authorities at the time refused that for French nationals, but agreed to turn in foreign Jews (often refugees) to the Nazis, supposedly so that they could intern them in "isolation camps".
