Description
Summary: | An account of the fate of Jews under the wartime Vichy government. This text examines the role of Marechal Philippe Petain in the persecution and mass murder of Jews under the Vichy government. It provides an account of this national hero and saviour, whose complicity was long hidden in secrecy and shame. This updated publication covers developments since the book was first published in 1990, and includes war trials and the national denunciation of Vichy that followed the death of President Francois Mitterrand, who had opposed official condemnation.
