Description
Discusses French social reactivity during the Holocaust, which led many ordinary citizens to form a network of support for the persecuted. Based on a postwar Jewish testimony, the author sees this network as the result of a relatively widespread spirit of non-collaboration and disobedience, expressed in an infinite range of small, often spontaneous gestures and acts of assistance.
