History

In the spring of 1944, the Comité Général de Défense des Juives joined with native-born Jews (represented by the Consistory) to form the Conseil Représentatif des Juifs de France. For the first time in the history of the Jews in France they were brought together in one formal representative body with both immigrants and French Jews.
