Digitised resources, accessible only from the computer workstations of the Louis XIV reading room in Vincennes. The Institute for the Study of Jewish Affairs was a private organisation created in France with the support of the German Propaganda Office. First known as the *Bureau d'information et d'étude des questions juives*, it was quickly renamed IEQJ (*Institut d'étude des questions juives*) and officially inaugurated on 11 May 1941. In March 1943, the IEQJ became the Institute for the Study of Jewish and Ethnoracial Affairs (IEQJR). The fonds of the Institute for the Study of Jewish Affairs (IEQJ) held by the Defence Historical Service (Vincennes) consists of the files of Captain Paul Sézille, Secretary of the IEQJ in 1941 and 1942 and organiser of the exhibition "*Le Juif et la France*" (The Jew and France), which was exhibited from September 1941 onwards. It also contains documents on the activity of this institute and another anti-semitic organisation called the *Groupement des amis anti-juifs* (Association of Anti-Jewish Friends).
