Between the French defeat in 1940 and liberation in 1944, the Nazis
killed almost 80,000 of France's Jews, both French and foreign.
Since that time, this tragedy has been well-documented. But there
are other stories hidden within it--ones neglected by historians.
In fact, 75% of France's Jews escaped the extermination, while 45%
of the Jews of Belgium perished, and in the Netherlands only 20%
survived. The Nazis were determined to destroy the Jews across
Europe, and the Vichy regime collaborated in their deportation from
France. So what is the meaning of this French exception? Jacques
Semelin sheds light on this 'French enigma', painting a radically
unfamiliar view of occupied France. His is a rich, even-handed
portrait of a complex and changing society, one where helping and
informing on one's neighbours went hand in hand; and where small
gestures of solidarity sat comfortably with anti-Semitism. Without
shying away from the horror of the Holocaust's crimes, this seminal
work adds a fresh perspective to our history of the Second World
War.
