J'ai parlé des plaies du XXe siècle avec les stagiaires de seconde. l'un d'entre eux a parlé de son grand-père, qui a reçu un "billet vert" mais ne s'est pas rendu à la convocation.
J'ai trouvé plus d'info :
"La machine infernale se met en branle en mai 1941. Ce mois-là, à Paris, des agents frappent aux portes de quelque 6500 foyers juifs. A ceux qui leur ouvrent, les policiers tendent un papier plié comme un pneumatique, et s'en vont aussitôt. Le document remis - le «billet vert», comme on l'appelle en raison de sa couleur vert pomme - est une convocation à se rendre, dès le lendemain matin, dans trois lieux précis de la capitale : la caserne Napoléon, celle des Minimes ou le gymnase Japy. Lorsque la personne arrive sur place, les policiers lui confisquent ses papiers d'identité, avant de la faire monter dans un autobus... trois mille sept cents juifs tombent ainsi dans le piège du billet vert."
