Netanyahu attends ceremony for 75th anniversary of WWII roundup of Jews in Paris
Source: i24NEWS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a ceremony commemorating 75 years since the rounding up of 13,000 Jews at Paris's Vél d'Hiv stadium in 1942, the majority of whom were later deported and killed in Nazi extermination camps.
It was the first time the premier attended the ceremony and it is his first visit to Paris since 2015 after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the kosher supermarket Hypercacher.

In July 1942, 13,152 Jews were arrested at the request of the Nazis and by order of the French government in power. Held in inhumane conditions for four days, they were piled on the steps of the Velodrome d'Hive stadium (demolished in 1959), dedicated to cycling races, before being taken to camps in the Loiret. There, 3,000 children were brutally separated from their parents, and deported first to Auschwitz.
Less than a hundred of those rounded up - and none of the children - survived.
