This line consisted of about thirty people. A large contingent of police was present: a police van, a driver, two policemen, one officer and two guards equiped with bulletproof vests and submachine-guns. It was the third time that I did this and each time I conducted myself in exactly the same way. Each time, after having peacefully given my leaflet to each person who extended his hand, I gave one or two leaflets either to the chief of the police detachment, or to the driver of the vehicle, or to an armed police officer, while asking them to give a copy of the leaflet to the chief of the detachment. The first two distributions passed without incident. This Saturday May 11, after the distribution had gone on as peacefully as the other two, two people left the line after having read the leaflet, advanced towards me while uttering threats and, having come to within approximately a meter of me, made some aggressive gestures, taken aback—according to my interpretation—by the absence of any apprehensive or defensive reaction on my part, by my calm, and by the fact that I looked at them peacefully in the eyes. Two police officers intervened immediately, and got between us. I suggested myself, at the same time as did the [10] chief of the police detachment, that he proceed to check my identity. It was at this point that from the interior of the theater emerged an individual in a great state of agitation, who presented himself as “responsible for the maintenance of order for the film Shoah, a Jew, and a member of the L.I.C.R.A.,”1 and who professed in the middle of confused threats his intention to file a complaint. Faced with my persistent calm, the chief of the police detachment invited me simply to get into the police vehicle, which I agreed to do while inviting him to also take down the testimony and the possible complaint of the latter individual. The two people responsible for the first incident returned to the waiting line, and I was led, as well as the above-mentioned third person, to the police station of the 5th district where the police officer submitted his report, then to the police station of the 13th district where an inspector from the judicial police conducted my hearing and the checking of my identity and residence, while another inspector recorded the complaint and the deposition of Mr. Olivier-Jacques Friedler, born on June 24, 1952, Paris IVe, living at 108, quoted…. with B… (93). The Legal Consequences I did not imagine that this affair could have any legal consequences. However, on my return from vacation, a registered letter informed me that a suit against me had been filed in my absence at the city-hall of my home town. Indeed, a summons, dated August 12, 1985, invited me to appear on September 23, 1985 before the Seventeenth Chamber 1 L.I.C.R.A. Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l’Antisémitisme (International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism). — 5 — GUILLAUME Law and History of the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris, to respond to a charge of “public defamation regarding a person” (diffamation publique envers une personne). This summons contains numerous oddities, of which the first is that it was issued on August 12. The alleged misdeeds occurred on May 11, and the period for filing a complaint according to the statute of limitations is three months, which thus elapsed on August 11, 1985. Is it a question of a culpable negligence in the pursuit of an offence, or an economic means of giving satisfaction to the self-esteem of a plaintiff and of his friends although their grievances do not appear well founded nor the offence well established? The question is of anecdotal interest. The summons is official. Charges have been made against me by the prosecutor of the Republic, and I do not intend to use formal arguments to flee my responsibilities and to avoid a debate on the basic issue. The matter was brought to trial on September 23, 1985. I was absent but was represented by my lawyer, Éric Delcroix, my father having died the day before. A session for pleading was set for November 25, 1985. I thus received a new summons dated September 26, 1985 and specifying the new date; it was rigorously identical to the first except for one detail: the offence was not defined any more as “public defamation regarding a person,” but as “public defamation regarding an individual” (diffamation publique envers un particulier). The nuance is real although weak. The elements mentioned above appear on the first page of the successive summonses (the blue page) under the responsibility and the seal of Antoine Genna, Bailiff (huissier audiencier) of the Tribunal De Grande Instance in Paris. To this blue page are fastened three pages, under the (illegible) signature and the responsibility of the prosecutor of the Republic: To have committed in Paris on May 11, 1985, in any case on the national territory and over an unstipulated period of time, the offence of public defamation regarding a person or a group of people because of their origin or their belonging or their not-belonging to an ethnic group, a nation, a race or a specified religion, by publishing and distributing the text reproduced below: The complete reproduction of the alleged leaflet follows, then the following sentence: Deeds covered and criminalized by Articles 23, 29, Paragraph 1, 32, Paragraph 2, 42, 43 and following, 47, 48 and following, of the Law of July 29, 1881. Before reproducing and studying what constitutes the corpus delicti, that is, the text of the leaflet itself, let us study soberly [12] and with full attention what merit there is in the austere writings of the public prosecutor. I have thus to answer for an offence allegedly done by me, the offence of public defamation. I am accused of having defamed a person, but which person? I am accused of having defamed

  • Didier Daeninckx and the Manouchian Resistance Group
    1 An Ever-Present Past: Didier Daeninckx and the Manouchian Resistance Group ‘Writing is always “against”! […] Personally, I am against authority and the disappearance of memory’ — Didier Daeninckx (1997: 68)1 November 1943. Following a series of highly visible attacks in Paris, committed by the Communist, ‘immigrant’ Resistance group of Missak Manouchian,2 the Brigades spéciales (special Brigades) of the French police finally pounce on the perpetrators, and arrest follows arrest. At the end of a very brief trial a few months later, twenty-three members of the combat unit, including Manouchian himself, are condemned to death. The twenty-two men are immediately shot at Mont Valérien, on 21 February 1944 (the one woman, Olga Bancic, is executed separately, beheaded in Stuttgart on 10 May). More or less simultaneously, the photos of ten of these freedom fighters are displayed on the infamous Affiches rouges (red posters), which are plastered over the walls of French towns and cities, and which denounce ‘l’Armée du crime’ (the Army of crime), most obviously composed of people with names of foreign, if not Jewish, origin. Shortly afterwards, the Liberation of France, for which these combatants willingly gave their lives, commenced. That is by no means the end of their story, however. Throughout the post-war period, the group regularly comes back into the headlines, forming, as Margaret Atack has noted, ‘an important focal point for remembrance and controversy’ (2013: 175).3 For example, in 1955, in honour of the group, and to mark the inauguration of a rue du Groupe Manouchian in Paris, Louis Aragon writes the poem which will first appear in L’Humanité on 5 March 1955, entitled ‘Groupe Manouchain’, and then in his collection, Le Roman inachevé, as ‘Strophes pour se souvenir’ (1956: 225-26).

  • Roger Garaudy, Abbé Pierre, and the French Negationists
    Simon Epstein Roger Garaudy, Abbé Pierre, and the French Negationists The Roger Garaudy affair, was the most famous of the cases of negationism in France in the 1990s. It boosted Garaudy to the rank of chief propagator of denial of the Shoah, following in the footsteps of Paul Rassinier, who made himself known in the 1950s, and Robert Faurisson, whose hour of glory came in the 1980s. In addition, the Garaudy affair marks the point of intersection between negationism and a particularly virulent anti-Zionism. For both of these reasons—its place in the history of negationism in France and its “anti-Zionist” specificity—this affair deserves to be examined in detail, in all its phases of development. Central to such an analysis is the somewhat unusual biography of the chief protagonist. Born in 1913 to a working-class family, Roger Garaudy was first tempted by Protestantism before becoming a Marxist in 1933. A teacher of philosophy at the secondary school in Albi, in the Tarn, he became an active militant in the ranks of the French Communist Party (PCF). He was arrested in September 1940 and trans- ferred to the detention camps of the Vichy regime in Southern Algeria. Elected to the French Parliament after the war, he progressed through the Communist hierarchy and became one of the intellectuals most representative of, and loyal to the PCF. Director of the Center of Marxist Studies and Research (CERM) from 1959 to 1969, he addressed himself to promoting dialogue between Marxists and Christians. He sought to prove that Communism was compatible with humanism, in compliance with the “politics of openness” advocated by Maurice Thorez, the Communist leader.

  • Holocaust Denial and the Left
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-12786-8 - Post-Zionism, Post-Holocaust: Three Essays on Denial, Forgetting, and the Delegitimation of Israel Elhanan Yakira Excerpt More information 1 Holocaust Denial and the Left A True Story, Some Facts, and A Bit of Commentary A number of years ago, I was fortunate – or unfortunate – enough to have a unique encounter. In a Paris drenched with summer sun, under circum- stances that justify the cliché about reality being stranger than fiction, I hap- pened to speak for five or six hours with an enterprising individual named Pierre Guillaume. Assuming that many of my readers have not heard of him, I had better say a few words about him. When I met him, Guillaume was run- ning a bookstore and publishing house with the interesting name La Vieille Taupe (The Old Mole). Not far from the Pantheon, the burial place of the great figures of the French republic, this institution, which opened and closed and opened again over a period of many years and now no longer exists, was the principal power base of Holocaust denial in France.1 From the late 1960s to the 1990s, Guillaume, his bookstore, and publishing house were the main focus of the activities of the Holocaust deniers. The 1970s and 1980s were their heyday, mainly by virtue of their collaboration with the Lyon literary scholar Robert Faurisson, the best known of the French Holocaust deniers, whose writings La Vieille Taupe published. As a result of that conversation, a nd t h a n k s to t he go o d of fi c e s of M r.

Over sixty years later, a prize-winning French author, Didier Daeninckx, is regularly depicting key members of this band of warriors in his novels, short stories, children’s books, and other writ- ings, thereby finding himself at the forefront of a veritable wave of imaginative representations and commemorations of these martyrs for the cause of freedom. After exploring this individual obsession of Daeninckx’s and its relationship to the broader retrospective trend, this article ultimately contends that not only the author’s subject matter, but also many of his narrative strat- egies, suggest that France has still not really managed to come to terms with the legacy of the Occupation.

In 2016, Brexit and Donald Trump’s election shattered prevailing political orthodoxies by mobilizing populations around a potent cocktail of xenophobia, protectionism, and Isovereignism. Forces with a family resemblance to these movements are calling the shots in Italy, Hungary, and Poland. Yet while France had for years been a major breeding ground of far-right ideas, it seemed, in its May 2017 presidential election, to dodge the populist bullet: Emmanuel Macron’s triumph over Marine Le Pen was widely touted as a victory of hope, tolerance, and internationalism over fear, hate, and nationalist retrenchment.

Commission Vice-President Wilhelm Haferkamp convinced the major­ ity of the Council that, before taking action, it would be bet-' ter to wait for the outcome of the current bilateral phase of the negotiations under GATT Article 23. The French government is getting impatient with the Commu­ nity's cautious approach in seeking to make Japan ease up on im­ ports of products from the Common Market by cutting tariffs and removing administrative obstacles.
