The 14th anniversary of the Nazi dragnet operation which scooped up thousands of Parisian Jews for imprisonment, deportation and death in 1943 was marked here today with services before the tomb of the Unknown Jewish Martyr.
Present at the services were French President Rene Coty, Premier Maurice Bourges-Maunoury, former Premier Guy Mollet and numerous French officials and Jewish communal and religious leaders.
