September 1941. Le Juif et la France The Juif et la France [The Jews and France] was an exhibition which took place from 5 September 1941 to 15 January 1942 during the Second World War. It was organized by the Institute for the Study of Jewish Questions. The exhibition drew on the work by George Montandon, a professor at the School of Anthropology of Paris and author of the work How to recognize a Jew?, published in November 1940. The exhibition claimed to be "scientific". It was held at the Palais Berlitz in Paris. It presented facial representations corresponding to Jewish anti-Semitic stereotypes, such as the hooked-nose or dirty hair. It was used by the Vichy government to help the French "to recognize the physical characteristics of the Jews". Approximately 200000 people visited the exhibit. Behind a seemingly educational front, the exhibition was propaganda designed to support the principle of ethnic cleansing.
