Résumé
--
Most of Europe's Jewish communities were totally destroyed by what the Germans termed 'the Final Solution'. This same project led to the occupation of France, but, as opposed to what happened elsewhere, more than half of France's Jewish community survived. This historical study analyses the rescue of French Jews, not only due to the heroic exploits of the Resistance, but also as a result of the French people's widespread aptitude for civil disobedience. A great many Frenchmen and women refused to remain indifferent to the Jews' suffering. Their attitude, which began as early as 1940 - before the raids of '42 - is manifest in the diversity of actions carried out to save Jews throughout the free and occupied zones in the propensity for lay people and clerics not to execute the laws of the Vichy government or the demands of the German authorities, and in the partial manner in which governmental decisions were applied. At times, disobedience meant taking risks, refusing to collaborate in order to save lives, refusing to help others kill. It meant acting alone, unarmed, clandestinely and in constant fear of being discovered. If more than half of France's Jews survived, it is also thanks to this commitment in their favour.
