When Things Go Wrong

During World War II, there was a time when Germany occupied France and that's when things in France started to go very wrong.
Germany occupied France after France was defeated in the Battle of France by Germany. France wanted all conflicts to stop so they signed the Second Armistice which allowed German troops to live in northern and western parts of France.
Almost immediately, the French had to deal with shortages. There was no longer enough food, fuel, workers and much more and it was definitely affecting the French. Because of the food shortage, grocery stores could no longer supply people with groceries. The French eventually had to create a system where you were given a certain number of tickets for a certain number of food items but it still didn't stop hunger. Malnutrition in young people could be seen everywhere and it was no where near getting better.
The French had no workers for their own country because they were all in Germany working for German companies. They were sent to Germany against their will and there was nothing they could do about it.
Another thing the French had to deal with was persecution of their Jewish population. France alone had 49 different concentration camps. On July 16th and 17th of 1942, over 13,000 Jews were arrested in Paris, France and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp where they were all killed. Jews that weren't killed were forced to follow certain rules. They could only ride in certain parts of the train or they could only go to certain restaurants during a certain time. Jews were forced to wear a yellow star so that they could be identified as Jews.
The French had to endure four years of the Germans. When France was finally free of the Germans, I know they were elated to see them go.
