TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PHILIPPE SCHWAB Joseph Weismann, survivor of the 1942 Vel d'Hiv Roundup (Rafle du Velodrome d'Hiver), holds flowers before receiving the Escapees' Medal (Medaille des Evades) during a ceremony in Le Mans, western France, on July 20, 2014, the national day of remembrance of the victims of racist and anti-Semitic persecutions by the French State. Arrested in Paris on July 16, 1942, Weismann spent three days in the Vel' d'Hiv' in Paris before being transferred to the camp of Beaune-la-Rolande, from which he managed to escaped before being deported to Auschwitz. 72 years after the Vel d'Hiv Roundup, France has finally assumed "full" responsibility for the deportation of 13,000 Parisian Jews, Weismann said.
