Description

Many recent books have documented the collaboration of the French authorities with the anti-Jewish German policies of World War II.

Yet about 76 percent of France’s Jews survived—more than in almost any other country in Western Europe.

How do we explain this phenomenon? Certainly not by looking at official French policy, for the Vichy government began preparing racial laws even before the German occupiers had decreed such laws.

To provide a full answer to the question of how so many French Jews survived, Susan Zuccotti examines the response of the French people to the Holocaust.

Drawing on memoirs, government documents, and personal interviews with survivors, she tells the stories of ordinary and extraordinary French men and women.

Zuccotti argues that the French reaction to the Holocaust was not as reprehensible as it has been portrayed.
