The « Fichier Juif » is a registration file of Jews living in Occupied France registered by Nazi authorities in 1940 and 1941. The file was a source used by the authorities for the infamous « Rafle du Vélodrome d'Hiver » (Vel' d'Hiv Roundup) on July 16 & 17, 1942 which ultimately resulted in the extermination of more than 13,000 people living in the Paris region. On 5 December 1997, Jacques Chirac, President of France, transferred this file from the National Archives to the Mémorial de la Shoah (Shoah Memorial) in the Marais district of Paris.
