Sixty-nine years ago this month, nearly 13,000 Jews were rounded up by French gendarmes and taken to the Velodrome d’hiver sports arena, not far from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. They were held there for days without food, water, or sanitation facilities, and then were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. French policemen, not Nazi soldiers, carried out the operation — and what is even more startling is that, for 50 years, most French felt no responsibility for the action.

The “Vel’ d’hiv’ roundup,” as it was called, became a symbol of national guilt and outrage. Twenty-five years after the liberation of Paris, in 1969, French Jewish filmmaker Marcel Ophuls took aim at the French nation in his provocative four-and-a-half-hour documentary “The Sorrow and The Pity,” where he dealt with the question of collaboration during World War II. The film was immediately banned by a government that was far from ready to tackle the question of its own culpability in the war.

An opening reception for “Through Others’ Eyes,” a photography exhibit created by Arab and Jewish Israeli high school students and women, will be on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 7 p.m., at the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck.

The exhibition is named after a project of the same name under the auspices of Givat Haviva, a non-profit educational institute in Israel. Through the project, the camera is a tool for self-expression and group communication. The photographs reflect emotions and activities of daily life in the participants’ communities, homes, and with one another.

At the reception, 20 members of the youth group will discuss the project and its impact on their lives. The event, free and open to the public, runs through Aug. 18. Call (201) 836-3499 or www.puffinculturalforum.org.
