Jews were forced out of France, as well as much of Europe. Nobody wanted them during that time. Did you know that refugee Jews were even denied sanctuary by The United States? --- Someofficials in France did their utmost to avoid handing over Jews who had been born French citizens. The survival rate for French Jews was significantly higher than for some other countries, such as the Netherlands.
It was not only German citizens, it was citizens from most countries of occupied Europe. In fact German citizens did less to help than most, Jews from Germany were mainly deported to the ghettos, rather than the death camps, also there were actually (some)protests in Germany over the deportations. Some countries did have the normal citizens affect the deportations: In Finalnd after 8 Jewish refugees were deported there were popular protests and no more Jews were taken. In Denmark the ordinary citizens helped Jews escape from the Nazis. But in France (for example) Jews were rounded up by the French.
9,000,000 people died in France during the Holocaust!!
No. The Sonderkommandos were mostly Jews. Other Jews recognize that what the Sonderkommandos did was to for self-preservation of the Holocaust and not because they "liked" cremating their fellow Jews.
Huh? Individual secret cells of small groups of native French citizens were given assistance in funding, supplying with weapons, and organizing for most efficient effectiveness by American and British governments.
French Jews wear the same clothing as any other person in France. Religious Jews will dress modestly.

France and Hanukkah are not connected. However, French Jews celebrate Hanukkah, just like Jews in all other countries.
The Vichy regime (1940-1944) collaborated with the Nazis and handed over about 76,000 Jews for deportation. Only about 3% of these survived. However, there was reluctance in some quarters to hand over Jews who were French citizens. About two-thirds of the Jewish community in France was not deported.What should be noted here is that in Cevennes many Huguenot descendants saved many Jews from persecution.
French Christians celebrate Christmas. French Jews celebrate Hanukkah.
It is a slang insult used against French Jews.
People who were not Jews were treated differently than the Jews in Nazi Germany. Some of the Jews were German citizens but they were treated as Jews.
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".
Over 2 billion About two quadrilion This is absurd since there were at most 300 000 to 500000 Jews in all of France at the outset of WW2.
9,000,000 people died in France during the Holocaust!!
This question is incredibly ambiguous because it gives no timeframe. Typically, France was a Roman Catholic Country and therefore, Jews were considered heretics and Christkillers. This persisted well into the late 1800s. In modern France, Jews form an integral part of the national apparatus, albeit a small one because of the Holocaust wiping out the majority of the French Jewish population.
