Speaker:
Renée Poznanski, Professor Emerita in the Department of Politics and Government at Ben Gurion University
Event description:
After decades of focus on the Vichy regime and its active collaboration with the German occupiers and the Holocaust, attention has shifted once again back to the Resistance. A new wave of scholarship has emphasized the aid that the French Resistance movements gave to French Jews facing persecution. This talk will show how a closer reading of sources shows that Resistance leaders were actually reluctant to condemn the persecution of the Jews—except for a few months in the summer of 1942—leaving the underground Jewish press to condemn Vichy and its policies.
