Mandel, Georges

 orig. Louis-Georges Rothschild

(born June 5, 1885, Chatou, France—died July 7, 1944, Fontainebleau) French political leader. A member of a prosperous Jewish family, he served as a personal aide to Georges Clemenceau (1906–09, 1917–20), in the National Assembly (1919–24, 1928–40), and in cabinet posts (1934–40). As minister of the interior (1940), he supported Paul Reynaud's refusal to accept an armistice with Germany. Mandel was arrested in 1940, imprisoned in France and Germany, then returned to Paris in 1944, where he was shot on orders of the Vichy police chief.
