The 1940 Nazi Invasion of Paris | Holocaust Survivor Paulette Shaw | USC Shoah Foundation

Paulette Shaw was born in London, England in 1916. Paulette grew up in Paris, where her father worked as a tailor.

On June 14, 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Paris. Jews were removed from their places of work, banned from entering many public spaces, and forced to wear yellow Star of David badges on their clothing to identify themselves. Over 13,000 Jews were later sent to concentration camps.

Paulette was imprisoned in the Besançon and Vittel internment camps in France. She was eventually released as part of a trade for the release of German citizens imprisoned abroad.
