[0513] Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine et Mémorial de la Shoah

Location: 17, rue Geoffroy-l'Asnier, 75004 Paris, France

Description: In 1943 the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (Center of Contemporary Jewish Documentation, or CDJC) was founded in Grenoble as a clandestine organisation. Its specific objective was to document the Shoah by pooling the information of Jewish organizations and scholars and by collecting documentary evidence. After the liberation of France in 1944, the founder, Isaac Schneersohn, and Léon Poliakov, in charge of research, moved the CDJC to Paris to save it from destruction and to sequester the archives of the Vichy government and of the German occupying forces. Among documents that they obtained were the French archives of the Gestapo, part of the Wehrmacht archives, and Vichy documents. Later the CDJC became one of the official repositories of the Nuremberg trial documents. In addition to the minutes and background documentation for the trials, the CDJC obtained original archival material and the personal archives of Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi Party ideologue and ERR chief. (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) was a looting agency set up in July-August 1940 to spoliate western Europe's cultural heritage, but especially Jewish libraries, archives, and private art collections and, later on in the war, to pillage cultural objects in south east Europe and the former Soviet Union.) The archive collections currently contain more than thirty million archive documents, including papers from the Direction Régionale de l'Aryanization Economique de Toulouse; documents from the French Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives (General Commission on Jewish Affairs), the agency principally active in stripping French Jews of their property and transcripts of the trials of the top level of management; the archives of Georges Montandon (1879-1944), a Swiss anthropologist and "expert on racial issues" with the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives (CGQJ). This partial archive group covers the period from 1924 to 1944 and deals first with his scientific ethnology work, then with his activities in anti-Jewish propaganda from 1938; and records of the Institut d'Étude des Questions Juives or IEQJ (a German organisation created by Theodor Dannecker in 1941 for anti-Jewish propaganda set up under the Occupation).
