  • Editorial Taking Over the Mantle of President from Madame Veil Is an Immense Honour for Me
    Editorial Taking over the mantle of President from Madame Veil is an immense honour for me. Both in all that that she has achieved in the last six years, and her charisma and personality, Simone Veil has left her mark on both conscience and memory and has made certain that noone can forget the unique and extreme character of the Shoah. In 2005, during the official ceremonies to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, it was she who, in the name of all Jews who were deported, invited leaders to join in the struggle against hatred, antisemitism, racism and intolerance. Her voice found an echo all over the world. In 2007 it is thanks to her initiative that France has made a further step on the path of memory: finally the actions of the “Justes” have been recognised by the Republic and study of their deeds is now part of the school curriculum. The Pantheon still echoes with the words of former President Jacques Chirac, speaking out against hate speech and acts of antisemitism and racism which dishonour the glory of today’s France as they did in the past. The values that Simone Veil incarnated in an exemplary way, I will do everything I can to defend and perpetuate. The activities set in motion by Simone Veil, I pledge to continue. Using the significant means which we have at our disposal the pri- mary aim of the Foundation is to continue to help to improve the lives of Shoah survivors whose means are otherwise limited and for whom social institutions can provide help.

  • [email protected] Vichy, Crimes Against Humanity
    Henry Rousso Institut d’histoire du temps présent (CNRS, Paris) [email protected] Vichy, Crimes against Humanity, and the Trials for Memory Department of French-Italian, Department of History The University of Texas at Austin Lecture given at 9/11/2003 I would like to begin this talk about the way France coped with its past by making some general statements. Why it may be interesting to study the Vichy legacy, except of course if you are impassionned by French History? Why the history of the memory of the “Dark Years”, the years of the Nazi Occupation, may have some interest for other periods or other situations, in contemporary history? Why to study preciseley how the representations of the past or the behaviour towards the past has evolved from 1944, the Liberation, to the present days, may have a universal meaning ? We can propose several answers : - We may learn a lot in studying the “Dark years” because it’s a period in which a great power, the second world power at that time in terms of political and economic influence, collapsed in six weeks, after a brutal and unexpected agression against its territory. The panic of the defeat, the disarray coming from the vanishing of the State and of other authorities, led to a strong support for a dictatorship, the Vichy Regime, which abolished most of the political rights. The new regime, using the fear of most of the population, declared that France was no more a Republic, and that she had a lot of ennemies : not the Nazi Occupiers, but the Jews, the Foreigners, the Free- Masons, all kind of opponents: in short, for Vichy, one of the result of the defeat, ennemies were at home.
