Early life

Schrameck was born to a family of Jewish merchants on November 26, 1867.[2]

Vichy regime

An antisemitic caraticure of Schrameck by Jean Sennep.

While he initially voted in 1940 for "full powers" to be given to Vichy ruler Philippe Petain, this did not prevent him from being first placed under house arrest and then then sentenced to internment a year later due to his Jewish background.[3][2]
