France is holding ceremonies to commemorate the 80th anniversary of a mass round-up of Jews in Paris under the Nazi occupation.

Family by family, house by house, French police rounded up 13,000 people on two terrifying days in July 1942, dispatching them to Nazi death camps simply because they were Jewish. Eighty years later, France is honouring the victims, and trying to keep their memory alive.
