Vichy's denaturalized, 1940-1944, Bernard Laguerre. The Vichy regime's law of 22 July 1940 was enacted to revise the naturalizations which had been granted since the law of 10 August 1927 or even prior to it. It affected about 15 000 people, among whom 6-7 000 Jews. The law belonged to the xenophobic movement of the end of the Third Republic and constituted the first of the Vichy anti-Semitic dispositions. While it facilitated the deportation of the French Jews as part of the Final Solution, it was above all a manifestation of the national revolution as an ideology of exclusion.
