The Vichy Regime and the Statute on Jews

Marechal Pétain
In 1940, the Vichy Regime led by Marechal Pétain passed a serie of discriminatory laws against the Jews of France, Algeria, Maroc, and Tunisia. 
The first law deprived the Jews of their French citizenship.

On October 7th, 1940 the Cremieux decree was abolished, thus depriving the Jews of Algeria of their French citizenship.

In October, Jews were excluded from the Army, from the Press, from teaching, and were prohibited to work in any commercial or industrial job.

In March 1941, Jews needed an authorization to rent or sell a company.

In June 1941, all Jews were excluded from public schools and colleges. 

 In July 1941, Jews were probihited to work as lawyers, and were completely forbidden to work in any kind of commercial and industrial jobs.

In August 1941, Jews were forbidden to be doctors.

Finally, in France, the French police arrest the Jews they can find (adults as well as children), and round them up to French internement camps (such as Drancy, near Paris), before taking them to concentration camps.
