Proceedings of the conference of the Contemporary Jewish Documentation Center (March 10 to 12, 1979) published under the direction of Georges Wellers, Andre Kaspi and Serge Klarsfeld and with the assistance of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture.
Published in 1981, La France et la question juive, 1940–1944 presents the proceedings of a 1979 conference organized by the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine. Written entirely in French, the volume examines the persecution of Jews in wartime France through three main areas: the policies and institutions of the Vichy government, the responses of Catholic and Protestant churches, and the actions of Communist, Gaullist, and other Resistance movements. Contributors include historians and witnesses such as Robert Paxton, Serge Klarsfeld, Georges Wellers, André Kaspi, and Michael Marrus, with individual studies followed by edited discussions.
This is a useful source for readers researching Vichy France, French antisemitic legislation, church responses to persecution, the Resistance, Holocaust history, or the development of postwar historical debate.
