"The Papon Affair" is the definitive English-language work on a
trial that is now considered to be the most significant in late
twentieth-century France. Papon, who served as a Vichy bureaucrat,
was charged with assisting in the deportation of several trainloads
of Jews from the Bordeaux region to Nazi death camps between 1942
and 1944. After the War, his career included both a stint as
Prefect of Paris Police and as a cabinet finance minister. The
inconclusiveness of the verdict which, even after six months of
testimony, left unresolved not only important legal and historical
issues, but political, philosophical and moral issues as well.
Richard Golsan has brought together the crucial French journalistic
pieces on the trial along with several essays by leading American
and British scholars to help contextualize the trial for an
English-speaking audience. The book delves deeply into the
fascinating debates about the nature of French complicity in the
Final Solution and of memory itself.
