At the beginning of World War II, Ascoli served as an officer in the French army. In September 1940, he was taken by the Nazis to a POW camp (Oflag) in Nuremberg. There, someone denounced him as a Jew and he was transferred to a special section for Jews. In August 1941 he was repatriated to France, but could no longer teach at the University. Ascoli and his wife lived in Sevres, near Paris; they did not leave their home, considering that they were safe there. On 19 February 1944 they were arrested by the Gestapo, interned in Drancy, and deported to Auschwitz, where they were killed in March 1944. Pp.53-86 contain photographs and appendixes.
