The Statutes on Jews ((フランス語:Statuts des juifs)) were discriminatory statutes against Jews in mainland France and its overseas territories passed by the Vichy French government in 1940 and 1941 (Art. 9 and 11. - The present law is applicable to Algeria, with the colonies, country of protectorate and territories under mandate). These laws were, in fact, acts of the executive, since Parliament was no longer in office as of July 11, 1940. The statutes were aimed at depriving Jews of the right to hold public office, designating them as a lower class, and depriving them of citizenship. Jews were subsequently rounded up at Drancy internment camp before being deported for extermination in Nazi concentration camps. The Vichy government voluntarily adopted, without coercion from the German forces, laws that excluded Jews and their children from certain roles in society. According to Marshal Philippe Pétain's chief of staff, "Germany was not at the origin of the anti-Jewish legislation of Vichy. That legislation was spontaneous and autonomous."〔Henri du Moulin de la Barthète. October 26, 1946 cited in Cirtis, ''Verdict on Vichy''. p.111. Quoting from: Robert Satloff (2006): ''Among the Righteous''. p.31〕 These laws were declared null and void on 9 August 1944 after liberation and on the restoration of republican legality. ==History== The denaturalization law was enacted on 16 July 1940, barely a month after the announcement of the Vichy regime of Petain. On 22 July 1940, the Deputy Secretary of State Raphaël Alibert created a committee to review 500,000 naturalisations given since 1927. This resulted in 15,000 people having their French nationality revoked, of whom 40% were Jews. Alibert was the signatory of the ''Statutes on Jews''. The first Jewish status laws dated 3 October 1940 excluded Jews from the army, press, commercial and industrial activities, and the civil service. The second status law was passed in July 1941 and required the registration of Jewish businesses and excluded Jews from any profession, commercial or industrial. A further law on "Aliens of Jewish Race" of 4 October 1940, promulgated simultaneously with the Jewish status laws, allowed for the immediate internment of foreign Jews.〔Numbered 29. Published in the Official Journal of the French State, October 18, 1940, page 5324.〕 Under the law 40,000 Jews were interned in various camps in the Zone libre, the Southern Zone: Nexon, Agde, Gurs, Noé, Récébédou, Rivesaltes, and Le Vernet.〔Michèle Cointet, ''L'Eglise sous Vichy, 1940-1945: la repentance en question'' (The Church under Vichy, 1940-1945; repentance in question) Perrin 1998. ISBN 9782262012311. p.181.〕 On 1 July 1940, the Germans had expelled thousands of French Jews of Alsace and Lorraine to the Zone libre. Some settled in cities such as Limoges, others finished up in the camps such as Gurs. These laws were copied from Nazi laws or ordinances, so that they were equally harsh for their victims. These laws were more rigorous than the Italian Racial Laws in occupied Nice. These laws of limitation were put into place from the start of the new regime by Pétain: the first law was put into place barely one month after the Vichy government was established. The collaborationist regime also put into practice the Nazi policy on hunting Jews, that was enforced by the French police, sending the captive Jews to railway stations where they would be sent to French concentration camps as part of the Final Solution. Similar legislation was subsequently applied by Algeria (7 October 1940), Morocco (31 October), and Tunisia (30 November), which at the time were mostly Vichy French possessions.〔Robert Satloff (2006): ''Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands''.
