On 6 July 1942 Theodor Dannecker urges the Reich Security Main Office to decide whether children under the age of 16 can also be deported from France1

Telegram from Section IV J SA 225a (marked ‘urgent, to be presented immediately’, dated 6 July 1942, 16:20), signed Dannecker, Paris, to the Reich Security Main Office, Section IV B 4,2 Berlin, dated 6 July 1942

Re: deportation of Jews from France

Case file: discussion between SS-Obersturmbannführer Eichmann and SS-Hauptsturmführer Dannecker in Paris on 1 July 1942

The negotiations with the French government3 have produced the following result:

All stateless Jews in the occupied and unoccupied zones have now been designated for deportation.

President Laval has suggested that children under the age of 16 be taken along as well when Jewish families from the unoccupied territory are deported. The question of Jewish children remaining behind in the occupied territory is of no interest to him.

Therefore, I urgently request a decision by telex as to whether children under 16 can also be deported, maybe beginning with the fifteenth transport of Jews from France.4

As a final point, let me also mention that, in order to get the operation going at all, we have for the time being only been able to discuss stateless or foreign Jews. Later, during the second phase, we can begin to deal with the Jews who were naturalized in France after 1919 or after 1927.5
