It was a tool of repression following the Second Statute for Jews of June 2, 1941 (enacted less than a year after the First Statute for Jews, which was already highly discriminatory). As early as late October 1941, the PQJ began arresting members of the Youth Battalions, including several young Jews.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  The Jewish Affairs Police was attached to the General Commissariat for Jewish Affairs (CGQJ), which was responsible for enforcing Nazi anti-Jewish policy. In July 1942, it became a highly active division within the CGQJ, known as the SEC (Investigation and Control Section). Jacques Schweblin, director of the Police for Jewish Affairs in the occupied zone, was one of the organizers of the Vel\u2019 d\u2019Hiv roundup on July 16 and 17, 1942.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  The Vichy regime created other specialized police forces (the anti-Masonic police and the anti-Communist police) that targeted citizens hostile to the regime\u2019s collaboration with the Nazis. Beginning in June 1942, the anti-Communist police became an instrument of repression against members of the Resistance, acting with particular violence toward Jewish members of the Resistance. <\/p><p>   <\/p><p>  The PQJ is representative of a state subservient to the Occupier\u2019s racial theories. French proponents of anti-Semitism quickly rallied behind the Germans\u2019 murderous measures, and at times even preempted them. <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  The PQJ regards every Jew as a criminal to be killed (and stripped of their possessions, however modest, if they have any). The status of confiscated property is a contentious point of friction between the PQJ and the Nazi administration. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-435d6d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"435d6d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/p><p>Jean-Marc Berli\u00e8re (with a foreword by Patrick Modiano), 2018, <em>*Polices des temps noirs*, Ed <\/em>.
