On 16 and 17 July, 1942, French police snatched close to 13,000 Jewish men, women and children from their homes in Paris in what was the largest operation of its kind in Western Europe. Most were taken to the Winter Velodrome before being sent to the death camps. Arlette Testyler, one of the last witnesses of "Vel d'Hiv", shares her story with RFI.
Polish-born Testyler was just eight and a half when police banged on her family home in central Paris in the early hours of 16 July, 1942.
