Le Pen Says France Not to Blame for Vel d'Hiv Roundup

Far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said Sunday that France is not responsible for the 1942 "Vel d’Hiv" roundup in which more than 13,000 Jews were arrested to be deported to Nazi concentration camps. A third of the group were children.

”I think France is not responsible for the Vel d’Hiv," Le Pen said during an interview on RTL radio. "I think in a general way, more generally actually, those responsible were those in power then, this is not France.”
