The best sites to get informations are
Association des fils et filles de déportés (Serge Klarsfeld),
Memorial de la Shoah.
ther are also other site well documented about the subject. Just have a look in Google.
click for instance : 'rafle des Juifs de Nice'.
The best book I have read about this is : 'les rafles des juifs par la Gestapo à partir due 8 septembre 1943' written by Serge Klarsfeld (available at Fils et Filles de déportés juifs de France)
'Les Transferts des Juifs de la Région de Nice vers Drancy' (fils et filles de déportés juifs de France) I don't know archive site in Nice about this period.
if you search on Google : Rafle des Juifs de Nice, you will get a lot of informations and documents online about the life of Jewish in Nice during WW2.
Jews were in good condition when Nice was occupied by Italian troops. But the hell is arrived when German Nazi have kicked out Italian troop in 1943 after the arrestation of Mussolini. Jews where trapped. A lot of them have been hidden in the Alps mountains around Nice with help of local population. But numerous have been arrested, send to Hotel Excvelsior in Nice and then to Drancy and Auschwitz.
If you don't speak french I suggest to use Google translate to get the translation of the sites in your language.

I went on holiday to Nice in summer 2019 pre Covid. There is a memorial plaque to the victims of Nazism generally on colonnades between the shopping area and the sea front. There is also the Marc Chagal museum/art gallery near the rail station as he lived for a long time in Nice. However, it is mostly focused on his childhood in E. Europe, rather than his time in Nice. The Rothschilds/Effrussis also lived at Cap Ferrat near Nice in a rather opulent mansion. The Town Museum on the sea front mainly focussed on the 1960s movie industry when we were there, including its Jewish luminaries (the Pink Panther films were made there and some James Bond films).

Hi,
I'm currently reading a book, The Spiral Shell, a memoire by Sandell Morse about Jews in France during WWII...how some were hidden, how some resisted, about some organizations which helped, etc. Although the book is not about Nice, perhaps you may find it of interest and it may provide some additional resources to you. All the best! -- Karen Calmon Lukeman KALMANOWITZ (Lyubcha and towns near Grodno, Vilna and Minsk) GOLDSMITH (Bakshty and Ivje) NASSER (Damascus) BENBAJI (Damascus) BALLAS (Damascus) |

Hi,
Many Holocaust related records in France are held at the departmental archives, not local archives. Nice is in the Alpes-Maritime department, and their archive's website is https://www.departement06.fr/culture/archives-departementales-2797.html. However, since Nice is a large city, you should also check with the city archive, https://archives.nicecotedazur.org/. Both websites are in French. USHMM has selected records from the Alpes-Maritime departmental archives. I checked the finding aid. We do not have the Police d'Estrangers records.

If you can read french, you should take a look at Serge Klarsfeld book (1993) on the roundup of foreign Jews in Nice. The book is online at https://klarsfeld-ffdjf.org/publications/livres/1993-LA-RAFLE-DES-JUIFS-A-NICE/mobile/ Jean-Pierre Stroweis, Jerusalem |

Hi from Paris,
Dear Catherine, I hope you speak French... Concerning fate of Jews in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) during WWII, I already replied by my post #643817, date 06/03/20. Please look at it. I attached the Finding Aid of WWII archives in "Archives Départementales of Alpes Maritimes / A.D.A.M.), including archives about foreign Jews. And some papers by various historian. My great parents survived in this area from 1942 to 1943 (as long as Nice had been under Italian authority). As a general advice, please consider :

Merci Bernard
Oui je parle français d'ailleurs nous avons déjà été en contact! Je dois être un peu bête mais je n'ai pas réussi à retrouver votre post du 06/03 J'ai été sur le site en ligne des Archives des Alpes maritimes mais sans rien trouver. Je ne sais pas si il n'y a rien en ligne ou si je ne sais pas chercher . En tout état de cause je suis sûre qu'il y a au moins un dossier pour mes grands parents car dans le dossier de naturalisation de mon grand-père aux Archives Nationales il y a le résultat d'une enquête demandée par le Ministère de l'Intérieur auprès de la préfecture des Alpes maritimes dans le cadre de la commission de dénaturalisation (en PJ) Cela signifie qu'ils ont dû se déclarer à Nice à un moment ou un autre et qu'il y a donc un dossier quelque part à leur nom. Par ailleurs pour mes grand oncles qui étaient apatrides j'ai cru comprendre qu'ils avaient également une obligation de s'enregistrer? J'ai écrit aux archives pour leur demander une aide mais je n'ai aucune réponse à ce stade. Cordialement Catherine JUROVSKY catherine.jurovsky@... |
